Block device without changing wifi code

Hi Could it be possible to block an outside camera using my wifi without changing the code? Could I go into port forwarding settings for this device and use the block all traffic option? cheers

Not exactly sure what you are trying to do here. Are you somehow trying to prevent someone else's camera connecting to your WiFi? If so, the only way you can do that is to change the WiFi password.

I allowed my partners brother access to our wifi but things have changed and I want to stop the cameras access without changing the code .

You don't need to change the 'code' ( by which I assume you mean SSID) you need to change the WiFi password.

This might work if you block access for all the time https://www.bt.com/help/broadband/manage-service/how-do-i-use-bt-access-controls--wi-fi-controls--

What you want to do is block the specific MAC address of the camera.

Yes would blocking the mac address stop internet traffic?

Yes, that is what the access control on the BT Home hub does, it will stop the device connecting to the Internet.

Just block the device 24/7.

Just change the wifi password, much simpler.

You gave him your WiFi password. If you don't now change it he will know it forever & you cannot prevent him from using it & connecting to your router.
