How to blacklist a WiFi user?

Multiple devices can connect to a Wi-Fi network wirelessly without a password for public Wi-Fi networks and with a password for password-protected Wi-Fi networks. The greater the number of WiFi users, the weaker the network quality for each of them and the speed degrades. Data consumption increases for the host and connected WiFi users individually face choppy internet service as well as poor connection. The host remains in control of the Internet connection and WiFi users that are connected to the router.

This is how you can block WiFi users on your network. To do this, you can use the access control feature and block the WiFi user from your network. You need to activate Access Control for this and this is how you do it.
