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?

2020-02-05T23:40:22+00:00 I also have karnak. I was checking out my network devices while I was copying some files and noticed it showed up above my router. I checked its properties and all was unavailable other than the manufacturer (Amazon) and the MAC address. I wasn't able to get a picture before it disappeared.
Edit (2/10/20): I just checked again and now have "mustang" that also disappeared as fast as it showed up.

If they're not, we can't trust either to do anything with it. If it's dangerous, if it's benign, computer networking will find only few secure systems operating.

2020-01-29T17:35:59+00:00 I have an austin, too. Different mac address. Shows as a network device on my pc but not in the list of connected clients on the router.
On Windows 10 1709 16299.64. I'm sure its something to do with a recent cumulative update.
Funny, I have a karnak (instead of your austin) all infos identical from screenshot above just different MAC address. This device DOES NOT SHOW in my router either.
Definitely fishy !!!!
