My router says there are 190 devices connecting through the Fingbox - Is that normal?



in Fingbox
I just signed into my ASUS RT-AC68U router and it said I have 208 devices connected to my router (BTW, I have 3 routers setup as AIMesh). Then I looked at the devices and 190 of those are connection through the FIngbox. Also, the Fing app only shows 26 devices are connected. Does this sound normal/OK? I'm worried that someone is hacking into my WiFi.

In the Fing App - did you merge all your access points? Merging access point means - you go on all access points and run a Fing scan to teach the app they are part of your network. In Fing App - if using iOS 11 or Android 10 - we cannot get all MAC addresses and this has an impact on device recognition. Were you previously seeing a lot of GENERIC devices on your list?

Fingbox is able to get the MAC addresses off the router if that makes sense - and thus it improves device recognition hugely.
