block one laptop from my Netgear Wifi Router. How do I do that?

Hi

I am on a mac osX. I have gone through several youtube tutorials and have even chatted with support. It is a Netgear Wndr3400v3. I can't find out how to block just that one computer. I can't change my password because I have other people that I want to keep on my network. Please Help

 

Thanks

    That's a fairly old N600 router (2010 was released). I was going through its manual to see if its got an access control list but didn't see anything listed. Or even a block list. 

    It might come down to changing the wifi password and just telling the people you want on the network the new password.

    or upgrading to a router that supports access control.

    As plemans says, this is an ancient device, but Netgear has been putting out firmware updates.

     

    You don't say which version you are on.
