I just checked my Windows 10 network and spotted Homtom HT 17 Pro. No-one in my house has this phone. After ten minutes it disappeared. Is someone trying to hack my network?
 
I'm assuming it's this bug: http://superuser.com/questions/976750/windows-10-phones-appearing-in-network

Best way is to turn off WPS on your router. It oddly does this if a device is scanning for networks around the area, and perhaps tries to connects to your network via WPS, but fails to do so since you yourself haven't pressed the WPS button on your end. Windows Connect Now then picks this up and shows the device in your network list.
