Almost no control on devices

Why is there no control on the device on the network? Is the only security measure is to change WiFi password? We cannot block devices network access using MAC address or just revoke the access to the WiFi. This is pretty basic security router's settings and it's not available with Google Nest or Google Wifi...

Wil it change soon?

Else I will need to change my Mesh and router, changing SSID and Password everytime will be a mess.

You can create family wifi groups containing devices that have connected to your network and elect to block those devices, either at certain times or all the time.  Are you trying to block devices you've previously given access to your wifi?  If so perhaps set up your guest network and only give people the password to that, then you can change that password when you feel the need to, not your main one.

Go on Amazon and search for Fing Box.  It’s great for blocking any new devices without your permission
