If the device is connected through adb over wifi as described at https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#connect-to-a-device-over-wi-fi-android-11+, it will show up in the list with its IP or hostname.
If this is not the case then you should have to review your settings and follow the steps provided in the page.
