    Yes, you can block specific devices. Access your router's administration page, typically via an IP address like 192.168.0.1, and locate the device to add its MAC address to a blocking list. This will prevent the iPhone from accessing the internet, a common feature on most modern routers.

    To disable one internet connection, you should disable the specific network interface that connection uses. For example, if you are connected via both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, you can disable the Wi-Fi adapter to use only the Ethernet connection, or unplug your Ethernet cable to use only the Wi-Fi connection.
