unknown device on network map

"Unknown" device showing up on secured home network map; where is it coming from?
location: microsoft.com - date: April 21, 2010
I am running W7U-64 on a Dell XPS 13 laptop on my home wireless network.  It’s a secure, password-protected network (WPA/WPA2-Personal) that runs off a Belkin N1 Vision router that I have manually set up to only allow access to 8 specific MAC addresses for different network devices.   Much to my surprise, when I go to the Network & Sharing Center to view the full map of my home network I see a question mark icon identified as “unknown” that lies in the path of the connection between my laptop and my router.  I am unable to right-click on the icon to view its Properties to try to figure out what it is.   To make things even more strange, one day an icon for someone else’s Linksys wireless router shows

Unknown Device on Network Map
location: microsoft.com - date: January 9, 2010
When I look at my network map, I see a device that I don't recognize.  It is a computer called "EFREM."  This might be someone hacking into my system.  How do I get rid of it?

HELP! Network Map Unknown?
location: 7forums.com - date: May 7, 2012
Hi, I recently checked my network map and came across this: What could Unknown Be? This map shows me being connected to Unknown, then to another machine on the network, the gateway and then the internet. I am not connected directly to the other machine. Why does it say I am? Me and the other machine on my network say the same thing. What is happening? Thomas googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1360528945348-0'); });

Security Issue (Unknown device attached to network)
location: 8forums.com - date: October 8, 2015
Hi, I just noticed an unknown device attached to my network (A mobile phone 'VodaPhone') that none of us own in our house. It's gone now, but I've managed to screen-grab the device and its MAC address. What should I do? Worried I've been hacked/being watched. Thanks

Windows 8 unknown device found
location: 8forums.com - date: May 15, 2013
Hi everyone, So first I'll give you basic information about my computer and then I will tell you the rest. First my computer when bought came pre installed with Windows 7. As soon as Windows 8 came out I upgraded to Windows 8. My system is BIOS not UEFI. I have about 3gb ram and 500gb hdd drive 2.20 ghz processor. Windows 8 runs really smoothly. So recently 2-3 days ago I decided to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows 8. Before when I had Windows 7 I dual booted it with Windows 8. So now I thought about dual booting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The Installation process was fine until I take out the installation usb with Ubuntu and whenever I try to restart it the PC would hang on the oem screen for a while which is ridiculously long. Then

Extending Network Map across a VPN
location: winsecrets.com - date: June 10, 2011
Hi, We have two LANs connected by a VPN. One is at 192.168.1.x and one is at 192.168.2.x - two subnets. They behave pretty much as one would expect two subnets to do. You can move files back and forth, ping or RemoteDesktop to computers on either LAN by simply specifying their IP address, etc. That was with XP Pro. Now I am starting to switch over to Windows 7 and am having some problems. The one I would like to ask about today may be simple, but I don't know. It involves "seeing" computers on the other LAN. If I open Windows Explorer and click on "Network" I see the two computers on my LAN. One is my Windows 7 machine, another is a Vista laptop. I do not see a "work group". My XP work group
