How can I kick someone off my wifi

[40ozForge]

So my little brother runs a minecraft server of our internet... Its terrible because it makes the internet slow which is a surprise no no one. I have the router stuff I need and I know his ip/mac. Its extreamly annoying and I would just walk in there and kick his ass but he locks the door. I dont wanna change the password cause other people use the wifi too.

Don't blame your lil bro. Blame your ISP for your slow connection, or your parents for not finding a faster connection, or the FCC for not making your connection magically faster.

If you want to be mean, block the port that he is setup on from the router, or block incoming connections to his IP address. There are many ways to accomplish what you are wanting.

You may even be able to set a speed limit for his server through the router. You may be able to prioritize non-minecraft traffic through the router.

This is a personal problem, rather than a tech problem.
Who pays the ISP bill?

Overall, your house needs a faster connection.

Depending on what router you have, there should be a section where you can view and manage devices connected to your wireless network on your router's admin page. Blocking a device is pretty straight forward.

You do need to have the username and password to log in to the routers admin page to make any changes.
