[QUOTE="orbs80, post: 142386, member: 11792"] Yeah, after a day or so they all came back on mine as well. I think MS need to look further in to this and it seems to be full of theory at the moment. Oddly though I only get 2 devices on mine. not both together but 1 or the other. n0xx and nakasi. I also have 2 Blackberry devices connected to my router. Although the MAC addresses do not match between these ghost devices and my physical Blackberry devices and the information is completely out it could be that Windows 8 is misinterpreting the devices as the Blackberry devices I have cannot connect to Windows wirelessly and need to be connected via USB. Microsoft has mentioned to me that the Network and HomeGroup in Windows 8 feeds from information from the connected devices in the router. Again this is just a theory and I doubt currently we will get any definitive answers apart from someone cracking it and solving why these devices are appearing. *UPDATE* LT30P has also appeared as some of you have experienced and I believe this is the Sony Experia S that has recently come out. The trend seems to be they are all brand new devices recently on the market. [/QUOTE]
