What is this device connected to my Mac?

[anonymous-user]

Hi all,

I have noticed this device (?) apparently connected to my MacBook all the time.

It shows up as 'brightbox2' in the 'Shared' section of Finder.

Clicking on Info shows it as being a 'Network PC'.

Any ideas?

Are you with EE - do you have a wireless router?

Yes and yes.

Excellent. Thanks for that.

Much appreciated.

I love how MacOS represents a Windows computer as something with a blue screen
