Hi, I was wondering if I should be concerned about this?

 

For some reason on a windows 10 desktop pc it shows up 2 weird devices on the network which i don't own. My house wifi router is asus rt ac68u. 

I don't own the s930_row, ralink linux client, plk-lo1and here's. After a while in the network section in file Explorer those devices won't appear again for some while then appear again.

A quick google for "ralink linux client" shows it's probably part of the router.

 

As for the S930 ROW, that might be a phone. If it's not yours... I wouldn't be concerned too much, but changing your router's WIFI password can't hurt.

If you're worried, change your wifi password and your homegroup password.

My house tv doesn't have wifi capabilities. Those devices are smart phones that have wifi capabilities, the device that appears in my network is a Lenovo  device, huawei devices and xiaomi devices.

The same thing happens to me. I get Samsung and Panasonic televisions showing up and occasionally random phones. Even by changing the WiFi password didn't remove them so my only guess is that there is some similarity between your router components and other of the similar types. I would be interested to see other people thoughts!

Most TV's don't have their own OID's, it will usually show up as whoever manufactured the networking hardware or whichever comapny has put their signature on the hardware.

But if the tv doesn't have wifi function then it shouldn't have a network adapter right?

this isn't entirely on topic but here's a hint for the future: You can easily capture something on your screen by hitting the "print screen" button, and then pasting into MS Paint and saving.  You can also use the "snipping tool" to capture all or part of your screen.  It works a lot better than an iPhone ;)

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Ok, but it shows up as a phone in my network so probably isn't the tv and the Lenovo s930_row do constantly show up and I didn't see it before when I setup the router . The pc also need to disconnect and conect to the wifi again every restart too as it would show up as no network acess

Kick and ban them from your router.

Disable WPS, change SSID, do not broadcast SSID, put up a new password.

Would it be a good idea to enable Mac address filtering on the 2.4ghz network only, my router is dual band

Or use a program like gyazo that allows you to select a certain part of your screen, then uploads e screenshot automatically.
