I have a netgear DGND3700 router and I have a MAC address which has 4 connections to my router at anyone time and constantly gets reported as either of my housemates computers, neither which are turned on.

Not sure what is it, but I want rid of it. Any idea how to block a MAC address on this router?
 
Wireless Settings -> Setup Access List should allow you to only allow authorised MACs to connect. I'm not sure if it's possible to exclude based on MAC or not.

Edit: I'm assuming it's a mystery wireless device?

If it is wireless you could just change the wireless security settings.

Thats the right tab. I've setup an access list via the MAC addresses I know are actually PC's. I'm not sure why one of the MAC addresses is using 4 different IP addresses at the same time, but its solved the problem of a slow internet connection immediately.
