Amazon Device on Nighthawk?
On my Nightwawk App device manager I am seeing a device called AMAZON-OA2BO8803. We have no Amazon device (that I know of). Does anyone know what this device is? I have disabled wifi to it which hasn't affected any of our known devices. Could someone nearby have such a device and using our network to access? Is there any way to delete a detected device in the app?
Using the link that you provided, the manufacturer is Amazon Technologies. And, I just realized what the device is ....an Alexa/Echo Dot. I now feel like an idiot. Thank you all for your replies and help with this.

Are you sure you don't have a Firestick or Fire TV? I know my Firestick shows up as an Amazon device.
No Firestick, no Kindle, no Amazon devices.
Find the Mac address of your phantom device and see who made it.
But what are we talking about here? Your footer says A6150|AC1200 Dual Band WiFi USB Mini Adapter .
Is that what you are using? Or did you just click the first thing that popped up when you wrote your message?
Hard to see what that has to do with the Nighthawk App.
