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?

    THIS is cyber infiltration by nefarious entities.  This just 'DOESN'T HAPPEN" its cyber war.  Since we don't hear from Microsoft, they must be complicit.  FBI, CIA, NSA (+ FCC) seem to be quietly collecting this information so they will have an excuse for NOT ACTING!

    Comcast re-installed what we had before our daughter moved to California in June. I do not know about all this technical stuff so guess I would have to forward your email to them to check it out.
