Disconnect more devices
To narrow down your options and be left with a slim chance of knowing which of the devices is appearing as a Honhaipr on your network settings, you have to narrow down by disconnecting more devices. This method is a little old schooled but it can easily work for you. Its actually one of the best methods for people that are not tech-savvy and still wants to cut the cost and diagnose and fix the situation at hand on their own.
The trick in this regard is to disconnect each of the devices to easily be able to see the device that is named as Honhairpr on the network settings. Once you find out which device is saved as Honhaipr, you can easily block the device and save on your data significantly.
Check Media Access Control Address
All the devices that are connected to your device has a unique MAC address which is usually used to connect to the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The MAC address is used for wireless communication between the two connections. Luckily, this number is different for all the devices which makes it easy to figure out the MAC address for the specific device that is named Honhaipr in the router. After noticing which MAC address is connected, you can easily cross-match the address to the devices. This will definitely help you efficiently detect where your data is going.
It is actually one of the easiest methods of knowing which device is named as Honhaipr without having to disconnect all the devices from the network. The only hard thing here is figuring out how to check the MAC address on all the connected devices. This can be tricky and it can take your time especially if you are not tech-savvy. To make it easy for you, make a list of all the MAC addresses on all the devices that are connected and eventually cross-check with the Honhaipr devices.

This is a common trick but it may not be the issue at hand for you. Most people have reported that their PS4 have been marked as Honhaipr device especially on the AT&T routers. This should only work as a hit and not surety that the PS4 is named as Honhaipr on the wireless network. Just start with PS4 and clarify that its not the device causing the issue.
Sony devices
I have also come across a couple of users claiming that most Sony devices can be shown as Honhaipr. However, this doesn’t mean that this is always the situation, I just wanted to hint out that Sony devices are more likely to be shown as Honhaipr. So, start by checking Sony devices and if possible, all the Gaming devices from Sony.
