    Hi Bbaugh66,

     

    You can try using the NETGEAR Genie mobile app and use the Pause Internet feature.

      Yes i am still curious about how to do this, if possible. To be clear, i know how to block people from the router. What i am looking to do is block them without them getting a message that they are blocked.
