unable to delete a device from the Device Manager

I'm not able to delete the device, Samsung SmartTv, from Device Manager. I have resetted/disabled the wifi on the tv, but still it says it is online. Any ideas how to remove it from the list?

  • I fixed the problem now by the way, all I did was turning off UPnP and after that, I was able to delete the device from the list. :smileylol:

  • any update on this? I also have a unknown device that i have blocked but can't delete, It just shows the delete button as greyed out. It's definitely not anything i use or need. I tried to search the mac address but couldn't find anything so I have no idea what this is.

      If you reboot the router you should be able to delete it after that
