Have noticed when using a windows 8 machine for some reason it is showing a mobile phone in Network places, the phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 which no one in my house has. The phone does not show in the router page and have changed password but still shows :confused: ... (probably me being daft but doesn't the Network page only show devices connected to your network?)

Anyway of removing this?

Have seen m0xx pop up a few times also. Not running any bluetooth and have changed the wireless passcode a few times but it still shows up. Nothing untoward showing in the router lists either.

Edit: Forgot to mention it only shows on the one Win 8 machine the other machines are win 7 and they are fine.

Apparently it's device chatter from Sky or Virgin media boxes. Literally anything that can connect to the router.
Try turning them all off and see if it still appears?
