How Do I Remove Devices From My WiFi Router?

WiFi routers are one of the most critical aspects of internet connectivity in your home. They make it possible for you to connect multiple devices simultaneously and provide access to a high-speed internet connection from any location in your home. However, if you have too many devices connected to your WiFi router, it can cause problems like slow speeds or dropouts. In this guide, we’ll walk through how to remove devices from my WiFi router so you can make sure that your network is running smoothly!

4 Methods to Remove Devices From Your WiFi Router

You can remove devices from your WiFi router in four significant ways. These include:

• Changing your WiFi password
• Restricting the number of connected devices to your WiFi network
• Factory resetting your WiFi router
• Creating a guest network.

Change your router’s WiFi password Changing your WiFi password is one of the easiest ways to remove devices from your WiFi router. This ensures that no other device can access your network unless they know the new password.

Change your router’s WiFi password.

Step 1

To begin, navigate to the router’s settings page. This is typically accomplished using an IP address, which you can find on your router, or by contacting your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Step 2

Once you log in and have arrived at the WiFi password page, change it! You can do this by inputting a new word (such as “123456789”) or phrase into the field provided and then clicking Save Settings.

Step 3

Next, ensure the password is strong enough to protect you from hackers who want to use your internet connection without paying for it. In other words: pick something difficult for someone else to guess! The stronger it is, the better chance that no one could guess it correctly. Even if they tried hard!

If you’re concerned about your network’s security, changing its password is the best way. And if it’s difficult for someone else to guess what that is, then they won’t be able to access your router or get on any devices connected without knowing exactly how many words there are in your phrase and also in which order they’re written.

Limit the number of devices that can connect to your WiFi

Step 1

Navigate to “Settings.”

Step 2

Continue to “Advanced Setup.”

Step 3

Many routers look for the “WLAN” option, usually found in the advanced settings or setup. If you’re unsure where it is, check with your router’s manufacturer or their website for more information on how to access them through your browser or mobile app.

Step 4

Click on “Connected Gadgets” to see a list of all connected devices, along with their MAC address and model number. You’ll also see a button that says “Block,” which will be grayed out unless you’ve added any devices that shouldn’t be used on your network (more on this later). 

If you don’t see this button at all—or if the page looks blank—then it’s likely that there aren’t any unauthorized devices connected to your WiFi network currently. However, if this happens frequently, we suggest taking steps towards securing yourself and others from malicious activity by learning how best to protect yourself online!

Step 5

Choose the devices you want to block based on their MAC addresses, and then click “Block.” Once selected, you should see a confirmation message saying, “Device has been blocked from connecting to your router.” 

To block other devices from connecting, select each one individually and then click “Block.” You can also unblock them when you’re done by clicking “Unblock” next to their name. Once blocked, it will remove the device from your network.

Please note: If there are no devices on the screen, either none are connected yet, or they have been added before but aren’t currently available for blocking. 

Step 6

To save these new settings, click “Apply.”

Factory reset To Remove All Devices From your WiFi router.

You can factory reset your WiFi router by performing the following steps:

Step 1

Unplug the power cord from the back of your router.

Step 2

Please wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in to restore power to your device.

Step 3

Press and hold down on a button labeled Reset or WPS located on your router’s back panel until a light begins blinking rapidly (about 30 seconds).

Warning: Factory resetting your router will erase all its settings, and any devices connected will have to be reconnected. 

Create a guest network

Step 1

You’ll need to log in to your WiFi router to create a guest network. 

Step 2

Navigate to “Wireless,” “Advanced,” or “Network Settings” to find “Guest Network.”

Step 3

Once there, follow these steps:

• Create a password for the new guest network. You may want to consider using one different from your regular WiFi settings so that it’s harder for people who know how their friends’ networks are set up (like kids) to access them without permission.
• Choose an SSID (network name). This is how other devices will identify which network they’re connecting with. It’s like asking someone where they live when they answer their phone!
