Hello everybody. I have checked the ping of all my devices connected to my router wifi and are OK. However, when I check the ping of my device the ping is always 0.how can that be possible? Thanks

    What is your device? Is echo response disabled?

    Hi, thanks for the response. My mobile is a huawei p20 lite. I don't know if is echo response disabled. How can I check it? The only thing I have noticed is that, when I open the Fing app and I go into the network configuration, the local address is the same IP address that the router assign to my device when I connect to wifi. Not sure if it's relevant

    The weird thing is that I used fing app last year for a short period, the ping worked fine.

    Thanks

    @Abc1 Can you clarify this statement - "the local address is the same IP address that the router assign to my device"
    Are you saying that your device has the same IPv4 address as the router? i.e. 192.168.1.1? Maybe you can provide a screenshot for clarity.

    Hi
    I suppose you mean that the IP of your device (ex. 192.168.1.15) assigned by the your router is tha same that you see in fing app, and this is normal, because  fing scan your LAN, so it reports the same IP that yor Router assign.
    About the PING on you device. I have understanf that you have tried by fing app in your device, I suggest you to try ping from an othet LAN device, for exemple your PC, in command line execute:
    ping 192.168.1.15
