Strange device

I'm trying to find out a device that's connected to my router. There's five devices identified but the fifth is saying "unknown". Is it possible a neighbour is somehow accessing the WiFi? It's bizarre as it's connecting at all hours including middle of the night. Would it be the landline or smart meter?

I think I've sussed it, pretty sure it's the Humax box hooked up to the TV, it needs WiFi for iPlayer. Reason it was on in early hours was my partner had been recording speedway highlights which I wasn't aware of.

Thank you everyone for your help, much appreciated.
