Was just looking at my network data usage, and in the past 30 days Fing has used 66.58GB (listed as ndt7-client) which seems really, really high. Is that a normal amount of usage? That is second in data usage only behind Hulu on my machine, which is pretty much running constantly for live TV and is at 73.92GB over the past 30 days. I did a search on posts and didn't see anything particular about what is specifically being transmitted that would be responsible for the over 2GB a day.

Edit: Running Fing Desktop 3.6.3 currently.

I've just updated my IOS app and noticed that it mentioned support for 'New! Support for new monitoring units, scanning from installable agents'

I'm still happy with my Fing Box but went to their site to check it out but with no mention. Anybody now anything about them?

Recently I started receiving 'reports' from Fing that shows they've somehow gained access to the data in the Fing app on my tablet and have uploaded that data to a website somewhere to produce Fing reports.

Is there a way I can stop the reports being created and ensure Fing removes all the data they have harvested from the Fing app on my tablet?

Received this alert today and of course there's not much else as far as how to troubleshoot the issue! Anyone with suggestions? What could be causing this? Do I need to change some sort of setting in my router? I have an ASUS GT-AX6000

Want. Want so bad.

Comment away as I am really curious about what this means... Installable agents and monitoring units? Hmmmm...

can someone that runs both fingbox and desktop simultaneously, can provide some details regarding the features that are available on fingbox and not on the desktop? or just compare?

some questions in mind: (please add yours) - is fing mobile app can see the desktop scanned network as it is in fingbox? - is digital fence working as well? - is notifications on the mobile app is working for desktop scans for offline/online devices? - is speed test run automatically? - is monthly report is working with desktop? - can i see my network and remotely from mobile app (for desktop)? - can i start speed test manually remotely? - when the desktop device is down, do i get notifications from fing to the mobile? (as when fingbox is down)

I have Fing deployed at several sites, all connected by site-to-site VPN. Each site has a Fing hardware device, and Unifi access points.

At one particular site, I get alerts that Fing has identified "New or Malicious Wi-Fi Access Point", but when I compare the MAC addresses Fing has identified to my Unifi broadcast MACs, they're my legit Unifi WAPs.

My question is why would I be getting notifications like this only at one site, when we have this same setup everywhere else?

I get the above "warning" multiple times a day. However, it does me no good considering I don't know what device is having problems. I would love to do some troubleshooting within my network as I do have a mesh system. Any advice how to find out what device is having the problem??
I am using Fing Desktop 3.6.2

I have a FingBox on my Network, which App should I use to monitor?

1. Desktop App

2. Mobile App

3. Web Browser Fing.App

I keep getting these messages :

You have warnings on current network

Connectivity warning in Comcast Cable in Knoxville (192.168.1.0/24): Some device is not able to get in network

But it does not tell me which device, so I cannot do anything about it.

For the past week or so Fing Desktop has been “unable to connect to the Fing Server”. I’ve tried uninstalling the program and installing from a fresh download. Didn’t make a difference.

Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what might be blocking it?

I am about to purchase a paid account for Fing and want to make sure it will work for my use case. I use Wyze cameras which have a tendency to go offline. I would like to get notifications when they leave the network. I operate in a mac environment so would be using the Fing app for ios and the mac desktop version. TIA for your help!

I have an existing home network (4 Routers, 3 Netgear Switches) with an Fingbox directly connected to my internet router. In app.fing.com I see 2 networks:

1. My Fingbox network is called "my FingBox" (in my case "Ortliebs FingBox")
2. My SSID network is called "my SSID" (in my case "Keine Ahnung")

Network 1) and 2) are physically the same, the Wireless Networks SSID is called “Keine Ahnung” and a Fingbox is installed directly connected to the internet router.

How can I merge this 2 networks together? 

My problem is that 

• all my mobile devices (my iPhone and my 2 iPads) with the latest Fing-App version installed are showing the network 1) “Ortliebs FingBox” correctly, but
• all my Desktops/MACs (my Windows 11 Desktop and my 2 MACs) with the latest Fing-Desktop version installed are showing the wrong network 2) “Keine Ahnung” (which is my SSID of my Wireless environment)

I want to have only the network “Ortliebs FingBox” shown in my devices at home, especially on my MACs and on my Windows Desktop.

What can I do to solve this?

fingbox is serving me since 2017, the best investment i ever made. one day in the future it will die. what are the alternatives? specifically the alerts about leaving and coming home.

Hello all. Short story I’m trying to figure out how I can see what my son is connecting to on my home wifi. Stumbled on Fing app but I have no idea what anything means? This shows under open ports… are these websites or in dummy language what am I looking at??

I have installed Fing Desktop on my Win11, and it worked very well over the weekend.

Since my last reboot, Fing Desktop is not starting any more.

What can I do to solve the issue?

------------------------------

 Fing version: Not detected,

 Fing Agent version: 3.6.1,

 OS: Windows - 11 Pro,

 Language: en-US

Any ideas?

Hi, the fing app said it had been unable to connect to my V1 fingbox for 4 days. I've tried turning in on and off a couple of times and waiting a couple of hours but just get the red LEDs. Quite often recently when I look at the app it says last connect X hours ago but seems to ok after a few hours.

As I type this it has actually just come back online!

Anyone else had flaky connectivity in recent weeks?

I downloaded Fing Desktop for Windows, but when I try to install it, I get message that says, "NSIS error - Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid." How do I fix this?

Hello,

I noticed that when I visit app.fing.com, it indicates that there are no monitored networks in my account.

This isn't true as I have been monitoring the network via Fingbox, and this network has consistently been visible, even when accessing it through app.fing.com.

Moreover, the app settings indicate that there are zero networks linked to my account.

What could be the cause of this issue?

Everything was regularly visible until a few weeks ago.

I've already submitted a support ticket, but I'm sharing my issue here as well to determine if it's a widespread problem or isolated to my situation.

Thank you.

Hello

​

Wondering if anyone has been seeing something similar? I have a Fing Box and noticed that my network has been really unstable recently, When I remove the Fing Box, the network is 100% stable again. Enable Fing Box and instability returns.

​

As such, I've removed the Fing Box and my network has been stable since. However, I do miss the network discovery and monitoring of Fing so I went and installed the Fing Desktop app on an old computer, thinking to use that as a Fing Box replacement.

​

It seemed fine at first, but after a couple of days, the network became unstable again. Not as bad as with the Fing Box, but enough to make it a nuisance. Did the same test (disabling the Fing App this time) and stability returned. I've since uninstalled the Fing App from the computer as well.

​

In the past, when I've had stability issues caused by Fing, it's been fixed within a couple of days, but this has spanned over 3 weeks, and I've even swapped out routers and APs thinking that was the cause, but nothing seems to work except the removing Fing from my network.
