Your wifi router will show you the most accurate data about which device is connected to your wifi network.

1. Open Control Panel and go to Gateway IP Address.
2. click on that to get your IP address
3. You can also run the ipconfig/all command in a Command Prompt window.

5. Press Enter and hopefully, you will get your router’s web address.

Now you can see how many devices are connected to your wifi network. You can now just go through the list and block any device you want.
