My Samsung S20FE 5G keeps trying to connect to my dad's Odyssey G8 monitor and we don't want it too, we've already switched wifi networks and tried all other options that we know of, I don't know how to add devices to my block pairing requests list. So we need some help, thanks in advance for the help.

Is it trying to connect via Bluetooth, wi-fi or smart view? One of those devices is in pairing mode.  Think the best course of action, if you can't find the control to take either device out of pairing mode, would be to let the phone pair, and then disconnect it from the monitor.

 

Bluetooth devices do not usually try to connect to another device unless they have already been paired and was last connected to that device or one or both devices are in pairing mode.  For security reasons, pairing mode is not "always on".  

 

You can try clearing your phone's cache partition or resetting your network connections.  Resetting the network connections will erase all your wi-fi and Bluetooth connections and you will have to recreate them.
