How to find type of device with mac address?

Just searching on the MAC will only give you the vendor. It will never show you in which hardware the component with the MAC was used. (Think of it as finding the vendor name for a lightbulb, which does not tell you in which device the bulb was used).

But given that you have the MAC and almost certainly the IP, you can use tools like nmap to find out more. If you do not like command line tools then try the zenmap wrapper around nmap. This usually will tell you which OS the device is running. That way you have a good idea if it is a phone (windows CE, android, ios or a PC (linux, BSD, windows).

Once you know that you can start to refine. E.g. if it tus out to be a windows device try \ipc$.
