I physically removed the power cables from all networked devices in my home, save for my desktop. Still, in my router's DHCP table and in NirSoft's Wireless Network Watcher, I see a device with MAC address EC-0E-C4-B0-61-D5 and company name Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co.,Ltd. I know that company makes a TON of different devices, but I've turned off every other device in my home and it still shows connected.
Any insight into what this device could be? I find it hard to believe its an unauthorized device because my wifi password is very strong and I use WPA2. So unless Mr. Robot is my neighbor, I don't think I've been compromised..
EDIT: Just FYI- After rebooting my router, this device obtains a DHCP lease approx 8 mins after my wired desktop does.
EDIT 2: I just blocked out the above paragraph because it was inaccurate. The 'kindle-xxxxxx' device WAS my FireTV (my apologies). But the unknown Hon Hai device still remains, so issue is still unresolved.

Sharing your Wi-Fi connection is one thing, but when unwanted people are connecting to your connection, you need to be concerned. A Wi-Fi spy can monitor your account or perform illegal activities that can be traced back to your router. Even without nefarious intentions, people stealing your internet connection will slow down data transfer and make it harder for you to enjoy the service that you pay for. Take back your router control by disconnecting unwanted computers from your Wi-Fi network.
Router Security Parameters
Most routers such as Belkin or NETGEAR allow you to establish a security password to control who has access to your network and who doesn't. Use a known device such as your phone or computer that is connected to your router. Got to www.routerlogin.net and log in. The first time you log in you will use 'admin' for the username and 'password' as the default password. Update all information to your own personal username and password. Remember to use complex passwords to mitigate unwanted access.
Go to the Advanced Tab, then Security and click on 'Access Control.' You are then given an option to 'Allow' or 'Block' access from devices found in the list of computers connected to your network.
Third-Party Programs
To see if a Wi-Fi spy is using your network with an unauthorized computer, download a third-party application. Who's On My WiFi (WIOMW) is a program compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. Once downloaded and installed, you will enter basic information as prompted by the program.
The results list names all known and unknown devices, including phones, tablets, and even Belkin routers. App use on your Android or iPhone is also seen as 'allowed' as long as you are entering the device as a 'known device.' Confirm that all devices listed are on the IP address that matches your server. In the program you have the option to remove any unwanted users with a simple click of the mouse.
Encrypt Your Network
Once you have removed unwanted users from your Wi-Fi network, take the time to encrypt your network for increased security measures and router control. Check with your internet provider for exact details, but most work similarly. Verizon stores an encryption key in the network router. Log in to the router and locate Wireless Settings. In the left navigation bar, select 'Wireless Status.' Choose 'Security Enabled,' and you will see the encryption key listed. Take note of the encryption key, update the password to a complex set of characters, numbers and case. Store this information in a safe place to provide to anyone to whom you want to give access.

I have an OnHub (from Google), and there is a device I don't know on my wifi network. Is there some way for me to kick it, or DDoS it, whether through some command line command on windows or ubuntu, or through the OnHub app?

If it can get on now, and you kick it off (rebooting your router would definitely kick it off, for example), it's just going to get on again.
To kick it permanently, do the following, in this order:
- Change your router's admin password
- Download updates for your router
- Disable WPS if it's enabled
- ESPECIALLY WPS-PIN (the 'enter the digits') because it's ridiculously vulnerable; see Reaver
- Change your Wifi to use WPA2-AES
- Change the PW to use a long (20 character plus), strong (cryptographically random, like KeePass generates) password.
- You will need to change the Wifi password on all your devices, of course, but this should last you for awhile.
- Don't give out the new password to anyone.
- Don't let them put it in their device; they can pull the password out of their device at their leisure.

- How did they connect to your wifi? If you don't have a password, password-protect your wifi.
- If you do have a password, change it
- If a device is connected, most wifi routers have a block feature. Use it.
- Use the wifi router to figure out what the device is. Most routers will tell you the name and some will tell you if it is an iPhone, printer, or something else. While this cannot be 100% accurate, it will give you an idea of what is connected to your network.

Simply change your encryption to WPA2 and Change your password to a combination of alphanumeric word with special characters, use a combination of words from atleast 2 languages peppered with special characters and numbers. Change password regularly. And uncheck WPS on router config page.

Pressing CLEAR just clears the list of addresses the RG has seen. As soon as it 'sees' them again, they'll return to the list.
You can set up MAC filters to prevent addresses from connecting, but that would be high maintenance (unblock when they come over, block when they leave). Devices that report names (e.g. Windows PC's) show up with names in the list. Some versions of the RG firmware have allowed you to assign names to some devices, but they usually didn't survive an RG reboot, making this exercise rather fruitless.
What you might want to do is get a third party wireless router that has time of day filtering and specific guest access and hook that up behind your RG as described in post 2 in this thread.

- Changed your WiFi password, and ideally also the SSID.
- Reboot your router.
Problem solved.
Don't bother trying to D.O.S the device. You'll ultimately just increase your exposure. If this is a moderately experienced hacker, they will be more than capable of handling any counter-attack you might launch.

Allow only the known MAC addresses in the router DHCP server, so DHCP will issue IP addresses only to the known hosts.

The OUIs of both of those MAC addresses shows up in the IEEE OUI database as being registered to 'Wistron Neweb Corp.', a Taiwanese manufacturer of Ethernet cards, set-top box/smart TV chipsets, and Internet-of-things/home security products, among other things. Google for their name and browse their site(s) and maybe you'll see something that helps you realize which device this is.
Note that those two MAC addresses might be from the same device, for example if it managed to get connected to your network via both Ethernet and Wi-Fi, or via Ethernet and HomePlug or G.Hn, or whatever.
Also note that some other company may be using a Wistron Neweb chipset or reference design in their product. So for example, it might still be your cable TV set-top box even if that box is from some other company.

Its your sky box wireless card. To confirm, on your sky remote - services - settings - details - wired and wireless mac address details. Compare with your 'rogue' device

Unknown Device Connected To Router Password
I found a solution to the problem 'Unknown network - no connection to Internet'. For me, this problem seemed to develop after I had a problem getting the drivers for both my printers set up correctly. I don't know if that was related to the cause, but after that every time I started Windows 7 I could not connect to the internet. The 'troubleshooter' couldn't find or fix the problem. I could fix it by disabling, then re-enabling the network adapter through the control panel. However, that only fixed the problem until the next time I started Windows.
What permanently solved the problem:
1. Go to Device Manager
2. Find your ethernet network adapter, then right-click on it. Select the option 'Uninstall'; this is different from the option disable. You will get a message asking 'are you sure?' click yes, you are sure.
3. Actually, that's it, you are fixed. After doing the above, your network card is listed as unknown device. Don't worry. Restart Windows, it will recognize your network card as a new device and do a fresh install of the correct driver.
Anyway, that worked for me. It is actually an old Windows trick to get the system to fix itself, even when it otherwise tells you the driver is working ok.
This worked on my system; your mileage may vary. I have a Sony Vaio RC-110G, intel dual core processor, 2 GB ram, running Windows 7 RTM Ultimate edition, none of which should really matter. The network 'card' is onboard Intel Pro/1000 PM network adapter. I was going to search for a new driver at Intel's site when the above trick dawned on my crusty old brain.
