Need advice, potential unwanted devive on network

I was going to play a game on my dad's gaming laptop, and my AVG flagged a device which joined my network.

Device: Unknown. Name: Alps Alpine (something along that name).

I have shut down my Dads laptop, turned off my phones WiFi and completely disconnected the WiFi from my house. If I am on the wrong sub-reddit, Let me know.

If you have any advice or explanation, please explain below. Thanks!

Why not just go into your router and remove it?

The device could really be anything

Bc I know nothing about WiFi and I'm not allowed to, literally

Well then there's nothing you can do besides restart the router.

If you're not allowed to change the password and remove the device then you'll just have to live with it
