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?

    I just discovered this Network Device newly appeared on my network (non-wifi, ethernet wired in to a modem from Comcast) when Avast, which downloads with the latest issue of C-Cleaner, did a scan this morning and found this added to my network as a network device: full_buscuit, Manufacturer Amazon, Model AEOBC (Model webpage unavailable) , device webpage:  (Presentation webpage unavailable); troubleshooting information:  Serial number:  "Unavailable"; MAC address: 440:b4:cd:e4:dd:a4;  I looked this up and it originates at Amazon Technologies Inc.. The unique identifyier and IP address were both labeled "unavailable".

    When I ran the security scan for the device on the network, a diagram appeared that showed my computer on the left side, the unknown device showing up in the middle connected to a Cisco device labeled "intel" then that connected to a Cisco device pictured on the right side.

    I keep no Amazon electronic devices or smart phones in the home.  I suspect this a spying operation that Amazon may be doing, or if they are in foreign countries, the foreign countries may be using the Amazon software to get into people's private networks to spy.  Other than that possibility I have no idea what is going on or who to report a complaint to.

    I have the same problem. Two devices will show up, than go after a minute. I also got another one ''LIFE_X8'' by BLU.

    They all have different MAC addresses but if I reboot, they reappear again and with the same MAC. (wi-fi detection nearby)

    I restored my computer from a Windows 10 image, which I never experienced these problems and those devices have nothing to do with applications or drivers.

    I would say it's a Wi-Fi nearby

    I wound up re-configuring and relocated my router and the issue has gone away, this has actually helped my whole house coverage, and removed some dead spots. Since the Fire Tablets don't appear to be getting any security updates have barred them from Future use until I get them on an isolated router.

    Thanks for the responses.

    This is a really late comment, but I just saw I have a "suez" on my computer. The only recent amazon product I have are some amazon speaker that required a usb connection for power from my PC. Once I unplug and replug that connection, the device doesn't show up anymore on the network. (at least for now)
