MAC Address Appears under Each Network Server Displayed

I have a Samsung Tablet- Galaxy SM-T350 Android version 7.1.1

When select Settings/Connections/WIFI and click on WIFI option
a list of all the networks displayed in range appears with name and the MAC address of the Network
I would like to know how to stop the Mac address of the network name from displaying

I have tried the following to resolve the problem by selecting:
Settings/General Management/ RESET NETWORK and them RESET - either processes did not turn off the MAC address display

I also have a Samsung Galaxy Cell Phone SM-J320W8 with the same Android Version 7.1.1
and the MAC address does not appear under the Networks

I would like to know how to turn off the MAC addressed displayed under the Network Name
Thank You
