It shows up as 'Unknown-01-02-03...'. I disconnected everything from the router by changing the Wifi password. I re-connected with only my phone and that unknown device has somehow connected also. What is going on?</P> Tue, 13 Feb 2018 20:04:33 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Unknown-device-keeps-attaching-itself-onto-router/m-p/1514731#M5706 Cagney1994 2018-02-13T20:04:33Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Unknown-device-keeps-attaching-itself-onto-router/m-p/1514736#M5707 <P>You could try changing the wifi password in the router (note is down), then you will have to change them in all of your devices which connect via wifi.&nbsp; Unknown, simply means the device is not fully identifying itself.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 13 Feb 2018 20:28:28 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Unknown-device-keeps-attaching-itself-onto-router/m-p/1514736#M5707 harrym1byt 2018-02-13T20:28:28Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Unknown-device-keeps-attaching-itself-onto-router/m-p/1514740#M5708 I changed the router wifi password, and as you've said, I had to manually re-connect again.<BR /><BR />But that unknown device is still there. What on earth could it be? Do you think my router's been hacked or compromised in some way?

No Ethernet or anything hard-wired attached. Everything is on wireless.

I can't remember using Wi-Fi to add it on the router but I guess I must have.
