An iphone 6s has (somehow) gained access to my network and is downloading and uploading constantly. I couldn't figure out how to kick it from the network itself, so I changed the network name and password.&nbsp;</P><P>About a week later, the same iPhone 6s joined the network again, and the save behaviour has continued.&nbsp;</P><P>The MAC and IP are listed in the app. Is there any way that I can block/blacklist it from the network? I have "paused" it, but not sure how long that lasts/if that's the right thing to do.&nbsp;</P><P>Also just to confirm, not a single iPhone in the house, and I can account for every other connected device. This is an unknown unit. I live in a block of apartments, so it's potentially a neighbour.. how they got access to my network twice is beyond me.&nbsp;</P><P>Would really appreciate any help!&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Fri, 18 Aug 2023 07:14:35 GMT Tomlykomg 2023-08-18T07:14:35Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Wifi/Nest-security-Password-and-booting-users-from-the-network/m-p/470730#M47113 <P>Hi All,</P><P>I have a strange thing happening on my network, and can't seem to find a solution.

If the device knows your Wifi network password, it will be able to connect, just the same as other Wifi products.&nbsp;</P> <P>We really can't help identifying how it's reconnecting if you're saying you've already changed the Wifi password. Your new password must have made it's way onto that iPhone somehow.&nbsp;</P> <P>You could try creating a group and pausing the device, but it's fairly trivial to bypass this unfortunately.</P> <P><STRONG><A href="https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7535858" target="_blank">Pause the internet on demand or on a schedule - Google Nest Help</A></STRONG></P> Sat, 19 Aug 2023 09:49:37 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Wifi/Nest-security-Password-and-booting-users-from-the-network/m-p/471090#M47150 David_K 2023-08-19T09:49:37Z
