Not detecting correct device types
I have a few PCs sitting on my network and Fing is detecting them all as "Bitdefender / ProductAgent1.0" instead of the correct vendor eg. Dell, how can I fix this ?

I may have a solution if you are using Fingbox. We are testing a new type of device recognition to fix this.
Could you have a look at this beta test? This is helpful to get the algorithm to get the right device details.

@VioletChepil what do I need to do ?
Are you still facing the issue? can you make sure you have the latest version of the Fing App as well? Thanks

Do you have any Firewall or Bit Defender device running on your network or any device which may be the reason for this behavior?

I use bitdefender as my PC AntiVirus/Firewall etc so yes.

No using the Ring app does not make any difference, its still showing incorrect device types and even worse, it does not show the device names I have been through and set all within the web pages.
So for example my Senibo AC controller is showing up as a Ring Doorbell.

My Fingbot shows a network based on MAC address, the Android/Desktop apps report the same SSID name but list the network with an IP, so when I login to the web page, I see two networks.
If I change a device name or alert details, its saved against the network with the MAC address, if I do anything with apps, its saved against the network with the IP address as the identifier.
Both networks (I am sure it should really only be showing one) show the devices on the network with the wrong device types.
Currently, this is the limitation of Fing Dekstop and Fingbox. If you have a Fingbox then you install Fing Dekstop then you will have two separate networks on your account. One is from Fingbox and the other is from Fing Desktop.
