Hello. 

I have just been doing some maintenence on my network and noticed on my connected devices, there is an "Android - xxxxxxxxxxx" and it's apparantly connected via ethernet at a speed of 100. The only thing plugged into my router is my PC. 

I've eliminated all wifi devices and identified what they were, however I can't figure out what this is. I initially thought it was a virtual cable from something like blustacks but i've since uninstalled that.

 

Using cmd. It pings, gets a reply. I just dont know what it is or how to find it.  

Any ideas?

Yep, Have an amazon firestick but that is showing up as connected to the wifi and has a different mac address.
