What are the strange “devices” showing up as new in my Fing list?
Just added Fingbox to a small home network in rural setting. Thus far, four devices have made first appearance according to Fing. Descriptions (all the same) include mysimplelan, Texas Instruments, and Ring/ doorbell, each with different URL and MAC addresses. Not aware we have any devices that fit descriptions. Not sure whether this is Fing, WiFi, or misbehaving device issue.

Just so that I understand your question completely, the items that you listed above are showing up through your Fingbox, but you do not recognize the items at all?
When in doubt, block the device from reaching the internet, wait until someone complains.
