Please check my router list, all PC and Mac are list with their name, but all iPhone and iOS are displayed in Unknown name, what an I do to show iPad, iPad Mini or iPhone4S?

What brand and model number is the router you are using (sorry I don't read your language)?

It is a Japan maker's router, the character above MAC means "unknown name".

Most modern routers have a section that you can create a DHCP reservation in it and then give it a custom name. You might would want to investigate doing that.

It seems like there I can edit name.
If I add "192.168.3.11 iPadMini" to /etc/hosts on my Mac, is it useful?

I would do it in the router. If you modify the host file now and in the future upgrade your Mac it might erase that host file.
