Is this unknown object in Explorer's network area a security threat?
What is object "PK5000Z AP" in the windows 8.1 file explorer network area? It is not there constantly, but comes and goes.
I have found with a search that there is a ZyXEL PK5000Z modem, and the properties of the object in explorer say the manufacturer is ZyXEL. But the modem that Comcast Cable provided me is a ubee D3.0, Model u10c035. I don't have a ZyTEL modem.
I have a Netgear R7000 router that is shown in file explorer as "R7000(Gateway)", category=network infrastructure.
My home network is a workgroup of 4 computers -- two wired desktops and two wireless laptops. I am having a lot of other problems but I am posting this separately because it seems separable and it seems scary to me.
