how to rename connected devices?

Is there a way to rename the devices that are connected to my 4g LTE home wifi? I'd like to know my playstation from my phone or tv so I know which to disconnect.

    Should be and easy code fix in the app and much needed. T-Mobile home internet is the first router I have seen that does not the the option to name the connected devices.

    I asked TMobile about this. The reply was at this time there isn't a way. Just a suggestion…. I went through and unplugged all 14 devices then one at a time plugged them back in all the while writing down ip address and putting name to address. It wasn't that time consuming and while not the best solution at least I have the paper with the devices labeled.

    I have 11 devices connected and did the same exact thing. It definitely wasn't time consuming and much quickly with my son's assistance but I want to be able to personalize each device for my own reasons.

    I just got my gateway yesterday & that was the first thing I tried to do...no luck. I have multiple Amazon devices & it's so hard to keep track of it all. I did start to note them as I added devices because I realized with the first few I couldn't rename them, but it would be super helpful if that option was available. Kind of a disappointment considering T Mobile is such a large technology company.

    I am in the same boat as the rest, but sometimes you can rename the device itself and that is how it will show up on the wifi.
