by

Have you ever experienced sluggish internet speed and poor connection on your WiFi network? It’s frustrating, isn’t it? Well, the good news is that you have the power to blacklist WiFi users on your network and reclaim your internet bandwidth. In this article, we’ll show you how to do just that, using popular router models like TP-Link, D-Link, and NetGear.

Take Charge of Your WiFi Network

Multiple devices can connect to a WiFi network, some without a password for public networks, and others with a password for protected networks. However, as the number of WiFi users increases, the quality of the network weakens, resulting in degraded speed and choppy internet service. But fear not! You, as the network host, still have control over the internet connection and the WiFi users connected to your router.

How to Block WiFi Users

To maintain a stable internet connection and regulate the number of users on your network, you can blacklist WiFi users by implementing access control. Here’s how you can do it on different router models:

TP-Link

  1. Open your browser and enter either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
  2. Log in using your default username and password.
  3. Navigate to the “Advance” > “Security” > “Access Control” section.
  4. In the “Online Devices” list, you’ll see who is currently accessing your WiFi.
  5. Click on the block icon next to the user you want to blacklist and click “Save.”

D-Link

  1. Access your default gateway IP by typing either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in your browser.
  2. Log in using the default admin details (admin/admin).
  3. Go to “Wireless” > “Advanced Wireless” > “ACL Setup.”
  4. Click on “Enable Wireless Access Control Mode” and select the MAC addresses of the devices you want to allow.
  5. Save your changes by clicking “Apply.”

NetGear

  1. While connected to your router, open your preferred browser.
  2. Visit https://www.routerlogin.net or https://www.routerlogin.com.
  3. Enter the default username and password (admin/password). If they have been changed manually in the past, try the default credentials.
  4. Go to “Advanced” > “Advanced Setup” > “Wireless Settings.”
  5. Click on the “Set Up Access List” button.
  6. On the next page, click “Add” and select the Device Name from the available wireless cards. Click “Apply.”
  7. Turn on Access Control and apply the changes.

Now, only the selected IP addresses will be able to access your WiFi, ensuring that unauthorized devices or users are blocked from your network.

Note: To avoid accidentally blocking your own device, refer to the “Active Client Table” to identify your device’s IP address.

With these simple steps, you can regain control over your WiFi network and enjoy a smoother, faster, and more secure internet experience. Say goodbye to slow connections and hello to a hassle-free browsing experience!

Remember, the power is in your hands, and now you know how to blacklist WiFi users like a pro. So go ahead and optimize your network for optimal performance. Your internet-surfing besties will thank you!
