There's unknown network device in my network list I have never connected on my own. When I google by it's name google show Philips TV (that I have never connected)

    Interesting. Have you shared your WiFi password with someone?

    It appears even if I disable PC Bluetooth. But also doesn't show that it connected with my Wi-Fi. Network Location it's just blank space.

    Very strange...

    Thanks. Does your device have Bluetooth? If so, it may be is in the range - like the other thread you mentioned, of a neighbor.

    Hi vv,

    I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

    Sometimes the names can be false positives. Do you know what devices are connected to your router? The router webpage may give more information.

    The MAC address shows that this MAC is registered to Liteon Technology Corporation from Taiwan.
