Windows 10: Phone showing on my PC Network

I have just installed Windows 10 and noticed something ive not seen before on my Network, it shows a phone G510-0100.
I don't recall every adding this phone and i cant see how to remove it.

Any help will be most grateful

Delete saved Ethernet Networks

nope because that only shows the single connection. it doesn't show the hundreds of different connections from my phone. it shows Ethernet (my home ethernet connection) and when my phone is tethered, Ethernet 2.

same network adapter, different network connection. I want to delete the network details. (when it pops up on the side when you connect, and says "do you want to make your PC visible on this network)

 

Unknown devices connected to my pc

It is found under network connection, listed as unknown devices connected to my pc. After changing password to FiOS G1100 and also name of network connection I still found an unknown phone and a tablet showing under unknown devices connected to my pc.

Found by looking in "my pc", then "network".

 

I see the same thing. Phones that nobody in the house uses will randomly pop up under Network for a while and then go away. I'm pretty sure this is nothing to worry about. It's just your neighbors' phones/tablets with wifi turned on automatically trying to connect to your wifi network because it's in range. Just make sure you are using WPA2 and a key that can't be guessed. If the devices under Phones bother you, you could block their MAC address if your router has that feature. Right click the phone and go to Properties to get the MAC address.

 

Oh thats great thanks for the fast response was panicking a bit then much appreciated. *Smile

 

It is because of the stupid Wi-Fi sense feature that Microsoft has added to Windows 10. Just another way for ill-informed users to start asking why their neighbors and friends are on their computer. Not to state that you are one. But there are those out there that do not take the time to secure. The stupid thing should be turned off by default and service should not be running. But as usual Microsoft sometimes forget their whole push about CompSec & OpSec.

bro67, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Wi-Fi Sense feature. These are wireless devices showing up because they're looking at what wifi networks are in range. Wi-Fi Sense is a feature that lets you share your wifi passwords with your friends. Completely different.
