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?

2018-01-22T16:48:57+00:00 good info, but curious, your comment about net neutrality,
what does net neutrality (a regulation governing how ISPs throttle internet speeds) have to do with an unknown device being on your network?

2018-01-17T12:18:27+00:00 Hi have the same issue. It appear randomly. I use virtualbox for development and have found the it mainly show up on the network (wired not wifi) when I am running a virtual machine. It is not appearing on other PC on the same network.
I know virtualbox add additional network drivers and virtual network hardware so I'm think it is related to either the virual image I'm using or my virtualbox setup. Weird though.
