In some devices, there are showing the clients which connected to a hotspot. One of them, I use a Lenovo A7000 with Android OS version 6 (Marshmallows) as an example.


It's easy, follow these steps:
  1. Usually there is a wan client notification on the menu bar. Or by manually: Go to setting - select more -select personal hotspot.
  2. At the bottom, there are some wan clients those are connected, accompanied by the name of wireless hardware manufacturer and wifi adresses. 
  3. Click "block" to blocking it and the block button will changed to "Unblock", click it again (unblock) to unblocking the device which is connected.
