Amazon Device randomly showing up on Network.

Original question:
I've got a random Amazon KFAUWI device showing up on my network as a device beside my driver for my router. Can anyone help? I am sure it is not a device in my house, as everything is set to something we've done or one of our names. Can anyone tell me if i'm stupid or if this is a general happening?

2017-10-08T14:56:19+00:00 Sounds to me like you've got someone who hacked your Network's Password. They shouldn't show up if they aren't a part of your network.
I would recommend changing your PW to something that is 16-32 characters in length, mixing capital and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. An example of personal favorite of mine is QWER!@#$qwer1234
Good luck!

Most likely the Fire 7.

2017-12-10T17:38:08+00:00 Had the same issue, Unknown Device in my Network named "austin", with same identifiers as the other posts here. After unsuccessfully trying to delete it, I turned off everything in my network and then turned everything back on, one-by-one, so I could identify and it has not returned. Just speculating but might have something to do with Dell update after the Windows Creator's Update last week, early December 2017. Dell is in Austin, TX. The Amazon identifier is still a puzzle. I am an Amazon Seller but can't see how anything I do in that area could be part of the issue. Hope this helps y'all resolve the issue.
