That way you can list devices MAC numbers in router to allow only them to access
internet. I've had option on past routers not current PN Hub One.

All you could do is go into Hub One 'Advanced Settings', then DEVICES, click on the offending Android device, and you can DELETE DEVICE from network.
However, I'm not sure how long this is effective; others may chip in on that.

Change the wireless password and don't give it to the Android phone.

It could still get access to the internet via the mobile signal, although the data allowance could be reduced.
Safeguard could be used to limit sites available, although that would affect all users.
I guess it all depends on what the OP wants to achieve?.

The risk of blocking internet access via WiFi is that your phone then defaults to using the mobile network instead and you run-up large data charges for accessing the internet when it would otherwise have been free. I saw a client a few weeks ago who had got through £30 of phone charges in a day because she had been wrongly advised to block WiFi access.

@VileReynard - Maybe to stop his child(ren) from spending their lives on it when they should be doing other stuff like sleeping or homework.
