    Donut Phone on my network?


    What is the device "donut" showing up on my Network as a Phone device?

    I followed the previous advice from MS technical consultant but it does not do anything. The manufacturer is Amazon. Does it have something to do with Amazon Prime account? Is this Alexa?

    Also as I was viewing the list of devices connected to my home network, under "Phone", an Acura car suddenly showed up clicked on properties. After about a minute it went away.

    Is there a security issue with my WIFI home network? Are random phones using my network to access data from somewhere website?

    :)

    What is this network device?


    This is a weird problem I've been seeing in windows for years now (not just windows 10). I've been unable to figure out what it is, but we're not alone in this, I did some research a while back and a lot of other people were seeing it as well.

    Some suggest it's a bug in the network stack. Some suggest it's neighbors who are connecting somehow, but not able to use the network. Regardless, it's not an uncommon problem and doesn't seem to be anything worry about. Here's some examples:

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

    When my phone fails to upgrade I just keep trying. One upgrade took 3 or 4 tries.
