Change the PW on the 2.4Ghz radio and see if that device connects or not or someone complains. You'll need to update wifi devices for this radio with new PW.

Can you explain what you mean by PW? Password?
The thought is to cahnge the WiFi password and see if it still connects? If not I would need to update the password for all the connected devices to the new router password, correct?

Under Advanced/Admin Attached Devices I selected "Block" on that device. It still shows activity. Is changing the password the only way to completely remove the device from accessing the router?

A bit more info.
Under Admin/Logs/ Include in Log, there are eleven possible event categories to log. Only one that appears to cause events is: Gateway Operation (startup, get time, etc). Receive a log event every several minutes.

Has changing the password helped on this?
