A question about wifi and what it shows?

What nstallion said. It will be in the connected devices-MAC addresses list. And your router also has to assign a ip address to it so can actually use the net through the router.

Maybe your using Apple equipment? I know Apple routers will show the actual names of the equipment connected (ex:"Ted Danson's MacBook Pro") but won't show a name if its a non-apple device.
