What do you do when it shows "generic" but doesn't show the brand. I have a device that is truly generic so I don't have the ability to scan by brand.

[@mr954133]

Thank you for taking the time to help us identify each device on a network! I appreciate it.

[@Doctortech1]

I got device that the software can not identify even when I click ping says iPhone syncing but does not say apple it says generic

[@christianedwards2119]

I have a question When I turn my Wi-Fi off and used my cellular data I went on the Fing app it said my phone carrier was T-Mobile but I’m using boost mobile. It also says I’m living in a different country.

[@HowToPM]

Well fing is made to look at the device on your network. Your carrier is a network. But anyway, fing is useless if you are not connected to a Wi-Fi network.

[@abrahamdevega2892]

Hello What if I share my place and the I don't control the device and I believe they are cameras so I nned identify and don't have laptop for Fing desktop

[@HowToPM]

You can use fing on your phone.

[@rickm0208]

Bought a new iPhone 13 Pro, got home and 17 devices are now "generic", when prior to the new phone I was able to identify everything on our network. There's ALWAYS something with technology, and it is fatiguing at best!

[@adisonbryant7555]

I am on a chromebook doing this and i want to find my other devices but i cant i dont know how

[@HowToPM]

Wow... Sorry I never used a Chomebook. But I don't think have a chromebook application.

[@iGiveYouLzzz]

i have a question. If I go to my girls house and i scan her wifi network and then i go home and once I’m home I go on the “scanned networks” section where it shows the networks I’ve scanned/connected to. Can I still be able to check who connects to HER wifi? I’d appreciate an answer from someone that knows about this. Thank you

[@HowToPM]

No you need to be on site.

[@amazingamazon8811]

[@HowToPM]

Just device that Fing don't know the brand.

[@ohhzymo5829]

The Hotel im staying at has like 4k generic devices that go from the ending 1 to 4000. Should i be concerned?

[@HowToPM]

You never should connect to a hotel Wi-Fi unless you have a VPN. 😉 Get one here : geni.us/BestVPN

[@HowToPM]

In fact... You should never connect to a public wi-fi without a VPN. 😉

[@th0k127]

@@HowToPMwhy ???

[@amazingamazon8811]

When I will be realised then I will block the device

[@Mr.raccoons]

so this generic device thing is dangerous or not? hope you answer 🙏🏻

[@HowToPM]

It's just a device on your network that FING canot identify the brand.

[@abdollahabainou5529]

So it's dangerous

[@maryamsss5434]

Can i hide my phone brand???

[@HowToPM]

Why would you?

[@davidcastillo1028]

When I installed Fing it showed all my devices; now I can't see my Amazon Tablel and another Android anymore and I have and both are connected to the router. Please help.

[@HowToPM]

Are some using a VPN?

[@FuelforLife001]

is this app true, safe and secured ???

[@HowToPM]

Yes

[@SheluvsAtti]

is generic a camera?

[@HowToPM]

Can be.

[@ohmannotnow272]

​@@HowToPMhow can I know?

[@josuo3724]

The first device that appears is always the ISP router right? Because the router that appear doesn’t match the manufacturer and I’m here thinking that someone is stealing my internet. 😼

[@HowToPM]

Not always but in most cases yes. The manufacturer showing up on the app might not always match the exact brand of the device for various reason.

Me too i hope fbi cracks down this app

I wrongly blocked my mom 😭 help me

[@HowToPM]

Hi. No need to send me 4 message in the same hour, I answer every morning. Howerver FING is only a monitor app, you can't block you mom's device with it. So whatever happen, it's not because you have use FING.

waste time!!!

[@lechsiz1642]

this app only shows your router and you can get that info without that app.

[@HowToPM]

If you don't see the other device on your network it is because you are using a VPN.

[@lechsiz1642]

@@HowToPM My roommate has a VPN for work, but her Galaxy phone showed up within a second, along with all others, on the ISP page - but took 10 to 15 minutes to show up on that app. I am fairly sure I can still see both her laptop and PC on the ISP page even if she uses her VPN for work. I just wouldn't be able to see what she is viewing if I was a hacker...and, i am not a hacker.

[@MyUneditedDiary]

​@Lechsi Z how to know

[@abdollahabainou5529]

What if you don't know the generic device , what if it's not one of your devices

[@HowToPM]

Well, it's still a device on your network. If there is a device on my network that I can't really identify, I would change my Wi-Fi SSID and PW to kick it out... Maybe it's a spy, maybe it's just a device you didn't think of. By disconecting it, maybe you will realise what it is.

[@summerslake1814]

Is this a joke! Lips moving no words!

[@HowToPM]

Well.... I think you need to rise up the volume. I do speak all the way long of that video.

Maybe this video can help you to understand. That's a bit of networking basic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmqTqauwr7xqbM0 If you have question please let me know, I will be glad to make a video and help.
