how to identify android device showing on my modem?

can a device be identified by it's device name that shows on the modem status device table?
 
You mean on your WIFI router. etc?

Well, in general, you should be able to walk the name back to a device. Granted, Android never really asks you what you want your device to be called, so it's always something like android-3ISICOSJWJIR... but you can check it against your phone's hostname (it's buried in the 'About' menu in Settings).
 
Ir check the phone's IP address or MAC address in wifi (advanced). The IP and MAC addresses will show in the router.
