PS4 WiFi network

Hi, is there a way to forget network on a PS4? 12yr old is connected to internet to download updates but we don't want him online when we are not checking what he is doing. Thanks.

Might be of use to you in the future OP in the link below. Can you just change the password on the router, then the ps4 won't connect.

One of the things you can do is block access to the web browser if thats what you don't want him accessing while you are not there.

I can yeah change password on the router, that's what I've being doing all along but its a pain to keep changing it and reconnecting other devises.

Might help if you let us know what you'd like to prevent him doing OP. Like accessing certain games, apps, web content?

Web content and apps.

In which case, this web guide that Enfilade posted above will provide instructions on how to implement some of the restrictions you to impose.

This should allow you to block the web browser as well as some other web-based functionality.
I wouldn't advise blocking an internet connection reaching the PS4 entirely as it would be necessary for game/OS updates. That guide is pretty comprehensive, yet straight-forward and easy to understand, so I would recommend getting acquainted with it if you want to adequately apply the restrictions you would like to.
