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?

There are lots of ways this can happen.
Do you have any Amazon devices like a fire tv with a remote?
Is your router set up with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup Config) setting on ?
Is (Windows Connect Now - Config Registrar) service ensbled on your PC?
If so your windows pc is probally seeing your firetv and its remote connecting to each other
if you phantom device has no IP address it is not really on your network
see my more detalied explanation above
