    One way:

    • Look for the MAC address associated with this device
    • Look at the devices in your network for their MAC addresses

    You can narrow down the search buy putting that MAC address into a search engine that will reveal the maker.

     

    I use this one:

     

    MAC Address Lookup/Find Tool for Windows

     

     

  • Thank you for helping. The lookup tool says it's from Amazon. But I can't think you any device I have that is an Amazon device??

      Trouble is that all sorts of things come from unknown sources. Some even have extra wifi signals that we don't know about.

       

      Can you block it an wait to hear the screams from the rest of the family?
