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?

By turning off SSID broadcast WPS get shut off automatically. No mess no fuss. No more austin or suzie or lim_biscuit or any of the other weird Amazon device names.
