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?

    Mine is different name and mac everytime i have had 5 different ones and im on day five investigating, I have taught myself computer so im learning how to investigate this and its hard if anyone knows how to tell if my router or my bios is hacked please let me know. I learn very quick. My data is being harvested on the router system logs, and my phone is being port mapped on logs as well, and i have replaced router 3 times now and clean installed windows 10 on my device about 7 times since may 2019, had hard drive replaced and 2 motherboards, i have Ipvanish, Scanguard and Advanced system repair premium and this is still happening. Thanks The first one is as I speak. I have had is say Full_gizz, and Douglas as well 

    Reconfigure your router if you haven't already done so.

    Change router password.

    Change Administrator password.

    Disable WEP button.

    This is due to other devices seeing your WiFi as an option to connect to it. As long as you have a good password, they cannot connect. It will ask for the password. If you right click the device name and choose properties this will show you details. If there is no IP address available then you are good. If there is an IP address associated with the device then the device successfully connected. It could be the kids next door on their tablet, for example.
