Identifying WiFi Extenders via BT Hub Admin

Wingreen — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 15:22:30 GMT

I have LOADS of listed items connected to my BT Hub. Some of them are obvious. However, I have about 3 WiFi extenders. I want to change the label (on the BT hub) for each so I know which WiFi extender is which. How do i identify each one (so I can change its name to identify its location). They all have strange labels. Any ideas?

The label should have MAC address, which should be shown in the device list. I say should because I don't use a BT Hub.

It will be a 12 digit alphanumeric string, usually with pairs separated by a colon.

Thanks. Yes, I can see MAC addresses - but there are loads of devices listed with a MAC address. How do I know which MAC address relates to a specific WiFi Extender? Or does each WiFi Extender have a MAC address printed on it? (Excuse my ignorance!)

Aha! Yes, MaC address on the unit, so I can cross reference. Many thanks.
