Glad I found this I want to do the same I have gone into IP filtering but on that one it gives the IP address ranges for example 192.168.0.1 to xx xx xx xx

My understanding of wireless is that if it can't get onto the original signal 192.168.0.1 it will jump to another IP so would be no point in blocking the IP on wireless because I might end up on that channel thats blocked.

Not had a chance to look up in the SH settings but will it list the MAC as well when connected? so blocking that should stop them accessing the net even if they jump onto another IP address?
