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?

    I've figured out the original issue, but now I keep getting updates to this community question, and don't want any more.  How do I stop getting these updates to this community question?  I don't see unsubscribe any where.  I know I'll get the answer that anyone post here, but I'm tired of all the responses and can't seem to turn off microsofts community messages.

    I am fairly confident that it is put into one's network via an android cell phone application.  It recently showed up as a Network device named   douglas ,  manufacturer: Amazon     Model KFDOWI   .  When my wife was gone for the day having taken her Cell phone the device no longer showed up when I clicked on my Network.  When she returned a new device showed up on my network.  It had a different manufacturer, different Name,  different model number but " Cell phone " appeared in unique identifier.

    I might add that her Cell phone is able to connect to the internet via WiFi which my router has.  

    This makes me wonder if some App got installed on her phone which is able to record phone numbers and other date from her cell phone and then transmit it to 'home' whenever an internet connection via WiFi is established.
