I've tried to google the answer but to no avail.

I've a few devices on my home wift network that are showing as unknown devices. Is there a way i can identify them with the MAC address ?

You can try reverse lookups like https://dnschecker.org/mac-lookup.php but expect limited success.

You can usually make your devices show thier MAC address and check it manually.

Or boot them off and see what happens!

You can try ping -a in command prompt and it will report its netbios name, might give you a clue as to what it is
