Is it possible to delete devices that are connected to my WiFi? 
Block, delete, remove or pause. Any way to get them off?

You could try the mac filters, but even young juveniles know how to bypass those. 

Don't let anyone connect to the lan and don't give out your WiFi details - simples.

What exactly do you want to do? 

No one other than my children who live here have connected but there are lots of devices on my WiFi I don’t recognise.

I’ve listed ours and there are a number on there not owned by us. Only had this internet a matter of days and no one else has the details.

I saw the Mac filters way but I don’t have that option on my router admin.

Then give the children access only to the guest wifi. 

Points to note - in the logs if you see a device connected to the wifi with an RSSI of 0(zero) it's not actually connected but has tried. Also, most devices these days will use a random MAC by default. Best to use mac filters and force the kids to use their device MACs. Instructions can be googled - other search engines are available :Winking_smiley:

@Dimarkey8686 Are you sure that these devices are connected? Can you ping them? Also turn off uPNP it's a security risk.

Turn Wifi off, change password/SSID, turn back on?
