In "My Computer", under "Network", there's sometimes a phone listed under "Network" (screenshot here). It looks like it's supposed to be an Asus Zenfone5. Why is it here? How can I find more info about it?
My computer is a desktop, does not have WiFi, and AFAIK has never been on the same LAN as this phone. My home wifi uses WPA2, and when the phone appears here, it does not show up on my router in the list of connected devices.
I have a USB bluetooth dongle, but it's not plugged in, and the phone doesn't show up under "Show bluetooth devices".
I keep a very minimal Windows 10 install for gaming, and primarily use Linux. This Windows 10 installation was done from a clean slate (on a new SSD) last summer. Nothing weird shows up when browsing with Avahi under Linux, but I'm not sure that's equivalent: I have no idea how Windows' device discovery works.
Devices on the network:
- This desktop
- A raspberry pi 2
- My actual phone, a BlackBerry Passport (which sometimes shows up in this list without rhyme or reason)
- An old thinkpad running linux, which is currently suspended
- An Xbox One, currently suspended
- A Philips Hue first generation hub (which is up to date)
Devices currently connected:
- Logitech wireless receiver, paired to an MX Master (purchased after the mystery phone appeared)
- Razer keyboard
- HTC Vive, currently powered down (unplugged from the wall)
- Xbox One controller receiver (also purchased after the mystery phone appeared)
- Some monitors
Devices that have been plugged in in the past:
- Steam Controller receiver
- Generic USB Bluetooth dongle
- MadCatz R.A.T. 9, whose drivers have since been uninstalled
- Aforementioned BlackBerry Passport
- A Microsoft Lifecam of some sort
- Xbox one controller(s)
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
