# Blocking Specific MAC Addresses by Device

There may be instances where a device needs to be blocked from utilizing your Wi-Fi. Maybe there is an abuse of data use or something else.  In those cases, you can block the device from connecting by blacklisting the MAC address.

 You may follow the instruction below when:

- You have only one router that you want to blockspecific devices from accessing

**Instructions:**

- Log in to [InControl2](https://incontrol2.peplink.com/).
- Open router Dashboard and click the AP tab. Click on the SSID you are blocking a device from accessing.
