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?

    Even with a 63-character Wi-Fi pass code I am getting this. I did know how to prevent this but with a new router it let a hacker in. You need to Disable (WPS) Next to Wi-Fi Protected. Also, under MAC Filtering Mode move the setting to allow after you have all of your own Wi-Fi devices mac addresses on the list under  Auto Learned. Also use characters like $ & % in your pass code they stop amazon Devices but not good it you have one. 

    I do not know if this is the right way but it works for me.

    REF:  

    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'm not sure that's the probable answer.  This particular "hack" as you mention, is showing up World-Wide (US, Mexico, Canada, France, England, Netherlands, etc.).

    It's some (thing) else.
