Eliminate network user

How can I eliminate a device connected to my network? I have connected an unusual device to my network and I can't eliminate, what can I do?

Please can you elaborate, I cannot answer your question without knowing the make/model of the router that you are using & what this device is?

If you have connected it to your WiFi & now don't want it, turn it off or tell it to forget the WiFi network.

The issue is I think someone is stealing internet from my router because I can't recognize the device, but I don't know how to block the access, there is any way to block the access to an unknown device?

The best way is always to change your WiFi password to something longer & stronger. MAC address filtering can be used, but it is not that effective these days, as MAC addresses can be easily spoofed. I cannot be more precise, as you haven't told me the make/model of the router that you have.
