    I am using a Huawei HG532e wireless router and I would like to block some of the smart phones of some of the workers who are no more working with us. Please help me to do this work as early as possible they just come around to use the network and download whatever they want though they are no longer with us.

    You should be able to do this by signing into your router admin page, going to advanced > Filter and drop int he mac address as well as the start and end times/days for the filter. If you block the mac 7 days a week from 00:01 to 23:59 - it should accomplish what you want.

    You first need to access the router settings by going to:

    http://192.168.1.1/
    

    If you can't access, you need to change your network settings.

    Huawei's default username is user and default password is also user.

    Then, in the settings, you need to go to:

    Basic (in the sidebar)
      WLAN (below)
        WLAN Filtering (this is a tab)
    

    Click in enable and wait a little.

    Then select blacklist, pick the SSID of the network you need to work on and type the MAC address you need to ban. Now you just need to save that.

    Hope that helps.

    AFAIK, Linksys routers do not support this for the wired interfaces. They assume that if you have physical access than the node is supposed to be able to connect. You might have some luck with one of the open source replacement firmwares (tomato, openwrt, dd-wrt, etc.) and firewalling the host via iptables.
