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?

    So basically this is nearby amazon devices trying to get onto your network but they will fail because of the lower levels of protection (unless your network is open). Turning off WPS will get rid of them but I can't do that in my environment so I'm just going to have to put up with it.

    I'm not 100% sure - I have the same thing, but I'm wondering if it's a Kindle. The switched from whisphernet to wifi a while back, but I don't think it "lives" on the network... Just wondering...

    I know what it is. Bought a cheap Amazon tablet & loaded my email. But returned it as unwanted.
