Your router device list should list devices with mac addresses and ip. They will normally have a default name like ESP_112233 where the number is the last 3 bytes of the mac address.

You can use the router to allocate static ip addresses for their mac addresses which is useful if you want to ensure you can access a particular device at a fixed ip address. The router may aslo allow you to give static ips a more meaningful name.

Although the first 3 bytes of a mac address identify the vendor these are not the same for all ESP modules.

Thank you for your reply

I can do that but I want to describe whole ESP modules dynamically. I mean if I change the router I will have to do same setup for new router. Actually my project is like;

There are some devices at home that uses ESP modules to connect home network. I also have an iOs app to control these devices via over the wifi router.

So thats why i need to define whole ESP modules on same network dynamically.

that I can choose myself.

If your router can do that power them all down and start them up one after one and give them a fixed IP adress and a significant name.

Here you can see that one of my esp's has the name ESP-The.........
If you click on it it will say ESP-Thermometer.
