For some reason this device or devices keep popping up on the network for some reason and I had the misfontune of having to open up the router settings to find a bunch of them with the same first two letters followed by a handful of numbers. I cannot track down where it's coming from because all the devices have been accounted for the LAN (Home Server, Security, iMac) amongst a small network of routers, but I cannot tell what this device is nor could I simply block it.
Did you get anything that has an internet of things?
I'm not going to be able to pinpoint any of these devices. What you can do is go to the IP address and see if some sort of control panel appears.
The mac addresses belong to Ezurio who make 802.11 and bluetooth hardware if that helps, it would be either a usb wifi adapter or a laptop with one of their wifi cards.

Yeah, that's what I got. They also seem rather old and bought out. Depending on if registered name for the addresses changed, they may be older systems/adapters? That's all I've got right now.

Any chance you can restart the router, and see if they connect back up right away?

Once you mention it, we are getting some wireless bits and bobs installed, but they are security related items so I doubt they'll connect to a home Wi-Fi but instead a terminal of sorts.
List still grows by the way.

I did reboot the router at one point when I left for subway.
In the span of 15-30 mins, two entries popped up aside from the normal devices that connect.
Do you have an ISP that's running a "use other customers' wifi for free if you're our customer" program?

We live in rural Indiana.
Our house possibly doesn't even intersect with any other wireless network.

By the way, our network setup includes a DSL Modem, three Linksy routers with two of them wired to different parts of the house with DHCP off to allow the first one to manage IPs throughout the house. We don't get bullshit ISP stuff here aside from us still using DSL.

I'll enable MAC Filtering to allow certain devices on the network tomorrow because when I'm gone people work at the house and they can't be disconnected from the Wi-Fi.

Er, I'll just set passwords. Because I'm still on the mindset that one router will do everything, but we have multiple that cannot be adjusted unless I wire into them.
The fact that you have 3 routers in the house is one first big issue. There should only be one router, then connecting to a switch. If you need more access points, I recommend using the Almond Wireless Extender as something to extend your wireless connectivity. Never use more then one router on a home network. They could conflict with one another and end up making your network slower as it would be forced to route through more then one point before accessing the source of Internet in your house which always takes more time and thus slower speeds.
Also note that some ISP's incorporate VoIP and your house phones may look like that over the admin panel. At least that's what my ISP told me as I do have the same issue as well. But considering how many of them you have, I would think otherwise if it is a VoIP system.

He may be using custom firmware like DD-WRT, I do that with several routers in my house and I've never had a problem. The lan/wan ports are configured to act like a switch and the wireless set as a repeater, works awesomely like a switch and wifi repeater in one box.
Find the IP address of each device. Then block the ones that are unauthorized.
IP won't matter. MAC address will
