Linksys router shows up in Device Manager

[Spad7]

I noticed recently that in My Windows 7 Pro computer (my main machine) my Linksys
router is showing up in Device Manager as a System Device? Not only the existance of the router, but the actual name I changed the router to a while back.

I uninstalled it, and it seemed to affect nothing . . . but not long after it reappeared. I then disabled it and it stays disabled. What could cause this behavior? It's a Linksys WRT3XX and is not connected via USB. I checked my other machines, both Win 7 and Win 10, and this phenomena appears nowhere else. I have never seen this behavior before.

I'm stumped.

That is nothing unusual. Some networked devices may appear in Device manager. Network media players, routers, access points.

No need to worry about it.
