How do I identify connected devices in the App?

Hi all,

I've got a couple of devices connected to my WiFi that I don't recognise. The only information is the MAC address. These could be legitimate devices that I've connected at some time in the past, but is there any way of finding out what they are from the MAC address?

Cheers.

    There is a way without looking at each individual device as long as they do not use ‘private addresses’. On the web there is a lookup for MAC addresses by vendor, this is somewhat useful, but it gives the manufacturer of the WiFi chip so you may not be able to relate it to an actual device.
