If you\u2019re having some troubles with your Wi-Fi speeds<\/a> or security, or you are concerned that someone might be using your network without permission, and you want to remove that person and its device, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/span><\/p>\n

This article will explain two ways how to remove devices<\/a> from your CenturyLink router and take complete control.  <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty easy. You don\u2019t have to be a network technician or tech-savvy.  All you need is a bit of time and some information to turn your network into the fort. <\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on the model of the router you are using, there are two ways to remove a device from your CenturyLink router<\/a>. The first is by using a Secure Wi-Fi toolkit, and the other is by manually accessing the router’s administration panel.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Remove Devices From CenturyLink Router With Secure Wi-Fi<\/h2>\n

Secure Wi-Fi is a toolkit you can access by logging into your CenturyLink account<\/a> or by using the My CenturyLink app<\/a> on a mobile device. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, the toolkit is only available for the <\/span>C1100, C3000A, C3000Z, and C4000<\/b> routers. If you use a different model, move on to the next section.<\/span><\/p>\n

To get to the Secure Wi-Fi tools, access your CenturyLink account by signing up on the website or My CenturyLink app. You can download the app for Android and Apple devices from their app stores. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once you log in, go to the Internet service option from My products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look for Connected devices and click on the option to see the list of all devices connected to your network. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t recognize or want to manage any of the devices on the list, click on it to see management options.<\/span><\/p>\n

For each device, you can:<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose <\/span>Name <\/b>to rename device and give it a more recognizable name on your device list, or<\/span><\/p>\n

Device type<\/b> to Identify that specific device (mobile, PC, game console, TV, etc.), or<\/span><\/p>\n

Internet access <\/b>to Pause or Unpause<\/span> and deny or allow the network access while keeping it on the network, and<\/span><\/p>\n

Manage device group<\/b> to organize devices into groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see, CenturyLink\u2019s Secure Wi-Fi tools will allow you to remove any identity, pause or remove any device from your network in just a few clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re using one of the unsupported routers, you\u2019ll have to do things manually.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us show you how.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Remove Devices From Other CenturyLink Routers<\/h2>\n

This method will work with pretty much any router you may have, whether provided by CenturyLink or some model from a third party. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need a device connected to the router for this to work. It can be a mobile phone over Wi-Fi, but it would be much faster and more convenient if you use a laptop or a PC connected to the router via ethernet cable<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Open Google Chrome or any other internet browser and enter the router\u2019s IP address. <\/span><\/p>\n

Most CenturyLink routers have the default IP address <\/span>192.168.2.1<\/b><\/a>. Some models use <\/span>192.168.1.1<\/b><\/a> or <\/span>192.168.0.1<\/b><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Default administrator username for CenturyLink routers is (blank), and the password is 1234 <\/span><\/p>\n

Third-party routers may have different default IPs, usernames, and passwords, but the defaults are usually printed on the back of the router or provided in the manuals that come with the unit.<\/span><\/p>\n
