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 h...
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.

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.
Thank you for your reply. I don't know how to find a Mac address as you suggested and I mentioned the router because I thought it might be helpful in some way. To clarify, my router is an older AC1200 Model R6220.
Log in through your web browser. there you'd be able to get its mac address as well as its IP address.
You can use the mac address to compare what the attached devices shows versus what a checker shows.
For example: https://www.ipchecktool.com/tool/macfinder
You could also compare the IP address that's assigned to it to your devices on your network. Just to see if its just mis-identifying your device
