On my network, a device called a p200 manufactured by amlogic and with a model name of MXQ Pro 2shows a MAC address of (20)(d1)(60)(2b)(06)(22). (Please delete the parentheses and install : in their place for the proper MAC address. Stupid emojees!) I have no idea what this device is or does. I have disconnected all of the devices that I know are connected to my network both wired and wireless and still no clue.
The device does go away if I close its property page, and won't reappear unless I reboot.

Your router may show traces of devices that have attempted to connect but did not have the password to your WIFI. You may see the MAC address, but since they didn't have the WIFI password, they didn't successfully connect and get an IP address. If you have security concerns, change the admin password on the router and the WIFI password. Verify that you are using WPA2 encryption and that WPS has been disabled on your router. Verify that you have the latest firmware for the router. Those BASIC things will create a secure network.

The device is connected to my network, I can't find it nor do I know what it is. The only thing I have like that is Chromecast, which I imagine would have to be connected to appear on the network. The Chromecast hardware is sitting on a shelf NOT connected to any of my TV's, and the software isn't on any of my computers.

Today when I looked at the network I found a phone called w7_tmo_us (MFR is LGE; model is LG-D415 with MAC address f8:a9:d0:94:ff:38). All further info was grayed-out as unavailable.

We recently had an incident where someone slipped a nannycam of some type into our house. Could this have any connection with that incidence?
