Change Device Names
How can I change the device names as they show up on my TMobile Home Internet Wifi?

this should be absolutely standard. Who wants to run down every device to match mac addresses?!?

I would love to know how to do this. We have a number of Google Chromebooks connected and I can't decipher the difference between them. I want to schedule times for them to have internet access without doing a blanket restriction across the board.

Same, all my Devices (except my phone) don’t have a name and are all labeled as “Unknown”. It makes it hard to differentiate them.

The modem gateway, is there a way to rename each device? I don’t have the gateway but most routers do allow for this. Amazon Echo’s are famous for being a pain to tell apart because of the way they are named by default. My Onkyo receivers had this annoyance as well. Within my Asus router though, I can override the name of each device, thankfully.

I just received my T-mobile Home internet, and am surprised how rudimentary the online gateway is. First thing I wanted to do after changing my passwords and hiding my SSID was to determine which devices were connected. All it says is x number are connected no details. Unhappy customer already, ten minutes out of the box.

You would think there was a way to have the app show the device names especially since device names are shown in the T-Mobile Gateway Setup video at minute 1:54. My app shows Mac addresses of the devices. Totally useless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPIU0HUh6TA

took an hour for nothing talking with them.. what the tech told me they are not working on that yet not important enough to fix..
Crazy...

Need to change the device names as advertised in the video. I can’t spend the ridiculous amount of time it would take tracking down or memorizing MAC addresses. How can I do this??
