    Every time I go to my girlfriends house and check WiMAX home page there's two unknown devices and one has the same MAC address as my iphone. Is this something to worry about I changed the router password but still they connect.

    I may be wrong, but I thought a MAC address was unique.

    Is it possible you logged on to the network, then over time your phone "forgot" the network & you had to enter the WiFi code again? Could show up as a double hit.

    And one has an IP address from entirely different range? Not uncommon with phones which have GPRS enabled.

    Well can you ping the attached ip addresses?
    If your concereded you can change the password. MACaddresses can be faced /cloned but not by the average guy next store easily
