The list of devices connected to my wifi is long, how can I delete them? Everyone that has ever connected to my wifi is listed!

I have the problem and I HATE it!!!! I can’t see a way to fix it other than to do a factory reset, which seems idiotic. I’ve read that there should be a Settings wheel for each device, but I’ve never been able to find one. I’m so annoyed. I hope you get a reply! I’m ready to return this thing and get something that works better if we don’t get an fix to this.

If a device haven't been connected and active for 30 days, they should be removed.

Google also says it can take 60 days:

---

If you have devices with MAC randomization enabled, it will count as a new device each time it connects to your Wi-Fi.

---

Some also experience that unnamed devices is in the list of connected devices, which is a known bug with no fix yet:

---

Some also experience that devices connected to the guest Wi-Fi gets listed as connected to the primary network, by wire even.

---

So yeah. A lot if longstanding issues with the devices list.


I don't work for Google.
