Naming devices connected to Home Internet
I've asked this many times over, but I still cannot get it to work. I need to know how to change the names of the devices connected to my TMobile Home Internet.
I've named them all directly on the device itself, but that name doesn't show up on my internet list. Everything comes up as a bunch of numbers, or "unnamed device" and it makes it IMPOSSIBLE to figure out what is what.
Every TV and computer and tablet in the house runs off this internet, so very often we run out of space and cannot connect anything new. If I knew which device was which, I'd be able to disconnect what isn't necessary to run 24/7, and what needs to stay connected.
Anyone have any clue what to do?!? It's starting to make this affordable internet service not worth the savings because the stress, arguments, and tension is making my household a place of contention :(
¡Ayuda!

I don't understand why this hasn't been addressed. Why wouldn't users want to see what is connected to their wifi? It doesn't make any sense to me and find it very frustrating.
POOR FORM T-MOBILE. I expect more from my internet provider. This is a no brainer! FIX IT
The customer should have control over what is connected to their Wi-Fi. IT’s a security issue!
Wow.. def would have expected to have this capability! I had it with spectrum for years and did not realize when I switched that T-Mobile would be that far behind. So, I am guessing "renaming" devices that are connected to our home internet is not an option???

i disconnected & forgot each device then 1 by 1 reconnected them to figure it out. not simple but it worked.
they couldn’t help me with any other issues I m not holding my breath
Come on T-Mobile! This is very frustrating.I have no idea what is hooked up to my network. Those stupid numbers are worthless. I was able to identify MY phone but nothing else.
Same issue, any answers yet??

Same. Very frustrating!! C’mon T-Mobile- this is an issue.
I've asked T-Mobile about this issue over and over. First they always seem clueless, then make me check the device name on my phone's settings (again), only to finally say that renaming devices isn't an available option at this time. It's so frustrating! Not happy about that and the fact that I can't access the app unless I'm home. So when I'm at work I can't look to see what devices are connected to my network. And, if I go to my security camera app and it says it's offline, how do I know if the problem is my Wi-Fi or my cameras? When I asked T-mobile about this, they couldn't even restart my signal. Turns out you have to be home for them to do that too. What's the point if I can't see my cameras when I'm away from home? They have some serious issues they need to fix with their setup. Not worth the savings.
It be nice if we knew how to do this without turning off everything to figure out what device is what.
My cell phone and laptop show up by name but everything else is Device(xxxxx)
