Is there a secret to clearing / releasing all clients previously connected to my SBG8300?

I have performed a factory reset before, however everything previously connected reappears in the connected client list. I want to make sure that I have no Rogue clients connected without my knowledge.

Thanks in Advance

First and foremost, if your previous clients were connecting using the default credentials, then even after performing a factory reset, the devices could automatically reconnect using those same credentials. This is because some devices have a feature that allows them to remember network credentials. As a result, the devices may reappear in the list of connected devices. To prevent this, we recommend changing your network credentials.
