Can anyone tell me how to block PlayStation from my router?
First find the IP address of Playstation (if you have access to it – go to “Settings” then “Network” then you can find it somewhere there) that, login to your router’s web interface through the browser, click on “My Network” icon on the top row of various icons (if it’s a G1100 router), then click on “Show more”, then just scroll down the list of shown devices until you find your Playstation there (it won’t be labeled as “playstation” so look for the IP address you found in previous step) and click “Block this Device” next to it. Very easy.
