In this article we will look at 5 working methods, including access via the web interface, the Dom.ru mobile application, and a hardware button WPS, as well as advanced methods for experienced users (for example, through Telnet). We will pay special attention to router models. Sagemcom [Fast] 5364, Sercomm RV6699 And Huawei HG8245H, which are most often installed by the provider. We'll also find out why devices sometimes remain connected even after a reset and how to fix this.

Method 1: Rebooting the router (the fastest method)

The easiest way to disconnect all devices from Wi-Fi is reboot the routerIn this case, all active sessions will be terminated, and the gadgets will have to reconnect (if they know the password). The method works on any models, including Sagemcom 2804 And Huawei EchoLife.

How to reboot:

• 🔌 Physically: press the button Nutrition (or unplug the power cord for 10-15 seconds).
• 🖥️ Via the web interface: Go to the control panel at 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1), enter login/password (usually admin/admin or indicated on the router sticker), then find the section System → Restart.
• 📱 Via the app: In Dom.ru, select your router → Manage → Restart.

1. Open your browser and enter the router's IP address (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).
2. Log in (see login/password on the sticker or in the contract).
3. Go to the section Wi-Fi → Client List (or Wireless Network → Connected Devices).
4. Find the button Disable all, Break sessions or the 🗑️ icon next to each device.
5. Confirm the action.

On routers Sagemcom the path may look like this: Home Network → Wi-Fi → Connected Devices → Disconnect AllOn . Huawei — Network → WLAN → Client List → Disconnect.

⚠️ Attention: After the sessions are disconnected, devices will be able to reconnect if they know the password. To block access completely, change your Wi-Fi password or turn it on MAC filtering (more on this below).

3. Method: MAC filtering (blocking by addresses)

MAC filtering Allows you to manually specify which devices can connect to your Wi-Fi and which cannot. This method is more secure than simply disconnecting sessions, but requires some setup.

How to enable filtering:

1. Go to the router's web interface (instructions above).
2. Go to the section Wi-Fi → MAC Filter (or Wireless Network → MAC Filtering).
3. Select mode Blacklist (deny connection to specified devices) or Whitelist (allow only specified).
4. Add the MAC addresses of the devices you want to block (they can be copied from the list of connected clients).
5. Save the settings and reboot the router.

💡 Helpful tip: To quickly find the MAC address of a device, Android go to Settings → About phone → General information → Wi-Fi MAC addressOn . iOS — Settings → Wi-Fi → ⓘ next to networkOn . Windows enter in the command line:

ipconfig /all | findstr "Physical Address"

4. Method: WPS button (hardware reset of connections)

On many routers Rostelecom (For example, Sagemcom 2804 or Sercomm RV6699) there is a button WPSIf you hold it down 10-15 seconds, the router will reset all active Wi-Fi connections without a full rebootThis is convenient if you don't have access to the web interface.

How does this work:

• 🔍 Find the button with the inscription on the router body WPS or the 🔄 icon.
• 🖐️ Press and hold it for 10–15 seconds (until the indicators flash).
• ✅ All devices will be turned off, but the router will remain on.

What to do if the WPS button does not work?

If the button doesn't respond, the feature may be disabled in the settings. Go to the web interface → Wi-Fi → WPS and activate it. Also, check if the button is physically broken.

5. Method: Telnet/SSH (for advanced users)

If standard methods don't work, you can use console commands through Telnet or SSHThis method is suitable for routers. Rostelecom at the base Linux (For example, Sercomm or some models Sagemcom).

Instructions:

1. Make sure that Telnet enabled in the router settings (section System → Remote Control).
2. Connect to the router via Telnet (for example, using a program PuTTY or Windows command line):

   telnet 192.168.1.1

   Login/password are the same as for the web interface.

3. Enter the command to view connected devices:

   cat /proc/net/arp

   or (for some firmware):

   iw dev wlan0 station dump

4. To disable all devices, use:

   killall hostapd

   or (for routers with Broadcom):

   wlanconfig ath0 deauthenticate all

5. Restart the Wi-Fi module:

   /etc/init.d/network restart

On Rostelecom routers with RTK firmware, the iwpriv wlan0 kickmac ALL command often works, but its support depends on the software version.

⚠️ Attention: Incorrect commands in Telnet may interfere with the router's operation. If you're unsure, try other methods or consult a specialist.

Common problems and solutions

Sometimes devices remain connected even after a reset. Let's look at common causes and troubleshooting steps:

• 🔄 Devices reconnect automatically: Disable the feature WPS And 802.11r (Fast Transition) in the Wi-Fi settings.
• 📱 The phone or laptop does not turn off: The device may have the Always On mode enabled (for example, Android There's an "Auto-connect" option in your Wi-Fi settings. Disable it.
• 🔌 The router does not respond to commands: Check if your settings are blocked by your ISP. On rented routers Rostelecom Some features may be disabled.
• 🛡️ MAC filtering is not working: Make sure you add the addresses in the correct format (eg. 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E without spaces).

💡 Helpful tip: If you frequently encounter unauthorized connections, consider change Wi-Fi password to a more complex one (at least 12 characters with letters, numbers and special characters) or hide network name (SSID)This won't provide 100% protection, but it will reduce the number of accidental connections.
