I just looked at the devices linked to my router and noticed a Samsung Galaxy A5 connected through one of my repeaters. Since no one around me owns an A5, I wanted to figure out its owner without breaking any rules. Would it be possible to check via IP calls or similar methods?

Turn off their Wi-Fi connection, if they protest you'll already know who it is. If they don't, it's not your issue. I'm hoping you have the Wi-Fi password.

I understand you're wondering why your connection might be coming from an external source despite knowing your network. It’s possible the hotspot is being used by someone else. Changing passwords is a good step, but it’s worth checking your router settings or contacting support for further help.
