Internet router unable to remove connected devices

4.5

Deleting or kicking a device from the network does not work.

Symptoms
  • Device reappears instantly
  • Delete button fails
  • Device still has access
Possible Causes
  • Device auto-reconnects
  • WPS active
  • Lease time not expired

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Change WiFi Password

Forces all devices to disconnect and re-authenticate.

2

Use MAC Filtering

Add the device to a "Deny" list permanently.

3

Disable WPS

Prevents devices from re-joining without a password.

When to See a Technician

Kicking a device only works until it tries to reconnect. Only a password change or MAC block is permanent.
