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

Here it is Sept 2024 and still no resolution on how to change the names on devices. 😡
 

Cleary T-mobile is not prioritizing this issue. T-mobile needs to get with the program.Verizon reps show up at my door every month now that Verizon wireless internet is in my neighborhood. As much as I dislike Verizon, I need more granular, and more security control over my devices.

The phone app will not handshake with the T-mobile router  (on newer, higher end phones), so I can’t even see device names. The web interface on a computer is terrible. It shows only the number of devices connected, no names, no individual entries for them, just a summary of  X Wifi and X LAN connections.

How am I know that the all the Wifi connected devices (family phones, laptops, printers, security cameras, etc) that are connected are even mine, or which are which?

 


Adding my vote that this is a KEY security issue I’m not super happy about. I want to know what’s on my network is mine, and that’s hard when I’m playing guessing games with all my family’s devices MAC addresses rather than just being able to NAME an approved iPad! It’s 2024, this feels like it should be a standard safety feature!
