    So how can I suspend the connection from my laptop ?
    Which router is it? , many have a web driven menu interface which you access by going to 192.168.1.1 and logging on using the admin logon/password.

    Have a look at the options and see if there is a MAC filter option , I'm also assuming your wifi is protected using a WPA2 password key as well.

    Is this a router you own or one from your ISP? I have found that ISP modem/routers don't give you much in the way of configuration options as compared to routers you buy yourself. That being said, if this is something you are very concerned with, I would invest in your own router and then handle the security through it.

    This is true , but blacklisting and a decent WPA2 password on the router is a reasonable and quick way to take precautions , the OP hasn't stated why he needs to block , it might just be a neighbour piggybacking on his broadband, not a hacker.
    That was not for the OP you were the one said he needed to Blacklist which I pointed out to you was useless and is a waste of time that will only give the OP a false sense of security. In the future do not pass this advice to other user's or friends, It was not true when router manufactures tried to convince users 20 years ago and it is not true today. The only people who believe it are people that have a flaw in their common sense gene.

    The OP asked for a tool to monitor WiFi connection's suspened any connection from pc or iphone --- I posted what I use to monitor my network near the top of this thread.

    As for being able to disconnect someone that is connected to the OP's WiFi with a program that is running in Windows as far as I know there are none.

    Now if the OP is running Linux it is pretty trivial if he has another or unused WiFi card or USB WiFi to send a deauthentication command to end the connection.

    The makers of a Android network scanning program called Fing have created a box that connects to your router that they say will automatically disconnect rouge computers from your network. It's called FingBox and whether it works or not I do not know for sure but I believe it is possible.

    The only thing I can suggest is to use AES encryption if all of your devices support it and change the password on a regular basis.

    Scan your network every once in a while when your bored or have nothing to do and if you notice that instead of 2 devices you have 3 -- change your password.

    If you scan your network after that and find you have 3 devices instead of 2, it's either your password scheme is weak or your router has a vulnerability and you should turn WiFi off and get another router for your WiFi.

    Most ISP's do not care about security the only thing they care about is that you pay them every month. They will give you the cheapest box that works and make it easy as possible to connect devices to their network.
