   That appears to be the answer! Thank you.   
      
   I have confirmed that the "unknown" device is actually my iPhone, and I have   
   labelled it as such in my Router's list of devices.   
      
   Thank you, also, all the rest of those who assisted me.   
      
   Still clmbering up the learning curve!
