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?

2018-03-27T20:27:37+00:00 So today I discovered "Austin" on the network. A quick skim through these posts, and a google search of the "Model KFAUWI" turns out to be the o/s on my Mom's Amazon Kindle (an old one).

2018-03-27T20:29:52+00:00 Ok so today I discovered "Austin" on my network. After a quick skim through this thread, and a Google search for the "Model: KFAUWI" turns out it's my Mom's Kindle that she hasn't used in ages, but turned it on today.
