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?

    Sorry i just read this question i have not seen this particular issue but it looks like you received a message with some sort of audio file attached and google does not have a decoder to play the file.   If it is important you should contact the sender for info on this file type and how to use it

    otherwise play it safe and delete it

    I have an unknown Amazon account on my network named ……..Douglas

    I have purchased a Traeger WiFi grill recently.

    Traeger was having issues with their Wi-Fi connectivity and sent out a heads-up message that they turned the problem over to Amazon to resolve.

    My question is..... is Douglas part of the solution to Traeger's  Wi-Fi  problem, or have I been hacked?

    And yes, I did have to provide my router's password to connect to the Traeger Wi-Fi
