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?

2018-02-01T19:50:59+00:00 I have seen the same problem. I have a Workstations Specialist Laptop, a Netgear Nighthawk Router and TooWay satellite broadband. Devices on my network are all wired. The austin device has a storage icon. Mac address is b4:7c:9c:e1:0c:fc and the Model number is KFAUWI, allegedly from Amazon. It seems to be a WAN thing: With the Amazon device icon showing I disconnected the router from the satellite modem and the icon disappeared. Reconnect, it comes back. Twice so far.

2018-01-22T16:48:57+00:00 good info, but curious, your comment about net neutrality,
what does net neutrality (a regulation governing how ISPs throttle internet speeds) have to do with an unknown device being on your network?
