Is It Possible For Me To Get The Device Name From This Mac Addresses? by ekanDamie(op): 10:03am On Nov 26, 2018
Good day,
Please can any web guru provide me with info on how to
Convert this Mac address into device names at least.
We need to find out which devices are consuming data beyond
Reasonable use. We use IPNX modem its not a broadband service.
Thanks in advance.

And @Hostermipo yeah sure it sure did help with the manufacturer.
I wish it can do further. Because I can have more than 5 people using tecno or Intel. I wish it can do more.

From a Linux machine run airodump-ng you will see all access points and clients live then you can identify which is consuming data. But you need to put your WiFi adapter in monitor mode first with airmon-ng. Alternatively, install kismet or wireshark.
