    How have you secured your network? If you are using WEP encryption, then it is very possible that someone has gained access to your network. WEP is flawed and can be cracked easily with freely available tools. Change to WPA encryption and use a strong passkey such as one found here:
    https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm
    (use the one labelled "63 random printable ASCII characters")
    You could also consider turning on MAC address filtering to make your network even more secure.

    maybe it thinks the router is a computer?

    why get involved if you have nothing positive to say.
