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?

    At a quick glance, almost all of the devices being mentioned here are amazon's Fire tablets.

    Hope this helps.

    1.  under Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS option, disable the WPS and save settings.

    1. ALSO in Wndows turn off features (if this is enabled)
    2. go to "Turn Windows features on or off "link.
    3. then find  the SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support option.
    4. Uncheck this
    5. Click the OK button.
    6. Click the Restart now button.

    UNABLE TO COMPLY.   WI-FI PROTECTED SETUP OF WPS ALREADY DISABLED.

    SMB 1.0/CIFS File sharrig options does not snow "Support" and there is NO checkbox.

    There is NO OK button.

    Thanks anyway.
