2. Enter your login and password. By default, this is often admin/admin or user/userIf the data has changed, check the sticker on the router.

Step 2: Find the list of connected devices

The interface may vary depending on the model. Here are the paths for popular MGTS routers:

• 📡 Sagemcom F@st 2804: Home Network → Wi-Fi Devices
• 📡 Sercomm RV6699: Network → Wireless Network → Wi-Fi Clients
• 📡 Huawei HG8245H: WLAN → WLAN Statistics

Step 3: Disconnect the device

In the list of clients, find the required device (use the name or MAC address). There should be a button next to it. Disable, Block or DisconnectClick it and confirm the action.

⚠️ Attention: Some MGTS routers (especially rented ones) may have limited functionality. If there's no disable button, try the other methods in this article.

3. Blocking a device by MAC address

If simply disconnecting does not help (the device reconnects), you can block it by MAC addressThis method is more reliable, as the router will ignore all connection attempts with the specified address.

How to find the MAC address of a device?

• 📱 On Android: Settings → About phone → General information → Wi-Fi MAC address
• 🍎 On iPhone/iPad: Settings → Wi-Fi → (i) next to the network → Wi-Fi Address
• 💻 On Windows: run the command in cmd:

  ipconfig /all | findstr "Physical Address"

How to block a MAC address on an MGTS router?

1. Go to your router settings (see section 2).
2. Find the section MAC filter or Wireless Network → MAC Filtering.
3. Add the device's MAC address to the blacklist (or to the whitelist if you want to leave only allowed devices).
4. Save the settings and reboot the router.

⚠️ Attention: MAC addresses can be spoofed, so this method isn't 100% secure. For added security, combine it with other methods, such as changing your password.

4. Disconnection via the MGTS Personal Account app

If you have an MGTS account, you can manage your connected devices through the official app. This is convenient when you don't have access to your router (for example, if it's installed in another room).

Instructions:

1. Download the app MGTS Personal Account (available for Android And iOS).
2. Log in using your username (usually this is the phone number or email associated with the contract).
3. Go to the section Internet → My Devices or Wi-Fi control (the name may differ).
4. Select the device from the list and click Disable or Block.

Limitations of the method:

• ❌ Not all MGTS tariffs support this feature (depending on the region and connection type).
• ❌ The app may display an incomplete list of devices (for example, only those that are currently connected).
• ❌ The blocking is temporary - after rebooting the router, the device can connect again.

5. Changing your Wi-Fi password: a radical but effective method

If necessary ensure that all devices are turned off (For example, if you suspect your network has been hacked), the easiest way is to change your Wi-Fi password. This method is suitable when:

• 🔐 You want to reconnect only trusted devices.
• 📵 You don't have access to the client list in the router.
• 🛡️ You suspect that neighbors or intruders have connected to the network.

How do I change the password on my MGTS router?

1. Go to your router settings (see section 2).
2. Find the section Wireless network or Wi-Fi.
3. In the field Password (or Pre-Shared Key) Enter a new key. We recommend using at least 12 characters, including numbers and special characters.
4. Save the settings. The router will reboot and all devices will be disconnected.

What to do after changing your password?

• 📱 Reconnect all your devices using the new password.
• 🔄 Check if there are any unknown devices left on the network (via the client list).
• 📝 Write down your new password in a secure place (for example, a password manager).

⚠️ Attention: If you rent a router from MGTS, changing the password may block access to the settings. In this case, you will need to reset the password through the provider's support team.

What should you do if you forgot your new password?

If you forget your password after changing it, you'll need to reset the router to factory settings. To do this, press and hold the button. Reset (usually hidden in a hole on the back panel) for 10-15 seconds. After the reset, the login and password for logging into the router will become default (admin/admin), and the Wi-Fi password will be indicated on the sticker.

6. Additional methods: parental controls and guest network

If you need to not just turn off the device, but restrict his access by time (for example, at night) or isolate from the main network, consider these options:

1. Parental control (Parent Control)

Many MGTS routers support parental controls, which allow you to:

• 🕒 Block internet access according to a schedule (for example, from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM).
• 🌐 Restrict access to certain websites or categories (social networks, games).
• 📵 Pause internet access on specific devices.

Where to look:

• Sagemcom F@st 2804: Home Network → Parental Controls

2. Guest network

If you want to give guests access but limit their interaction with your devices, set up guest networkIt operates separately from the main Wi-Fi and usually has:

• 🔐 Separate password.
• 🚫 Limited access to local resources (printers, network drives).
• ⏱️ Possibility of scheduled shutdown.

How to enable:

1. Go to your router settings.
2. Find the section Guest network or Additional Wi-Fi network.
3. Activate it and set a separate password.

7. Why the device reconnects and how to fix it

Sometimes after turning off the device automatically connects to Wi-Fi againThis happens for several reasons:

1. Auto-connection in the device settings

Many smartphones and laptops remember networks and connect to them automatically. To avoid this:

• 📱 On Android: Settings → Wi-Fi → (tap on the network) → Forget.
• 🍎 On iPhone: Settings → Wi-Fi → (i) next to the network → Forget this network.
• 💻 On Windows: Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi → Manage known networks → Forget.

2. Static IP or DHCP Reservation

If the device is assigned a static IP or is reserved in the settings DHCP router, it can connect automatically. Check:

• In the router settings: Local Network → DHCP → Address Reservation.
• On the device: Disable static IP (use Obtain an IP automatically).

3. WPS function

If the router is enabled WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), devices can connect without a password. Disable it in the settings:

• Sagemcom: Wireless Network → WPS → Disable.
• Huawei: WLAN → WPS → Disable.

4. The device is connected via another network

Check if your router is distributing two networks (For example, MGTS_1234 And MGTS_1234_5G). The device can automatically switch between them.

8. Common mistakes and how to avoid them

When disconnecting devices from MGTS Wi-Fi, users often encounter common issues. Here's how to solve them:

If your router is rented from MGTS, some settings may be blocked by the provider. In this case, please contact support by phone at 8 (495) 636-0-636 or through your personal account.

If there is no such function, use third-party programs (for example, Net Nanny for Windows).

What is a MAC address and how to fake it?

MAC address (Media Access Control) is a unique identifier for a network device. It appears as six pairs of characters separated by colons (for example, 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E).

You can fake a MAC address (spoofing):

• 📱 On Android (root rights required).
• 💻 On Windows through Device Manager → Network Adapters → Properties → Advanced → Network Address.
• 🍎 On MacOS via terminal:

  sudo ifconfig en0 ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

However, most modern routers detect spoofing and block such connections.
