Fing Has Developed Two IP Addresses
Best Answer

Edgar_1 said:
Yes. I have blocked a couple of devices but neither one of them carries the IP address. An interesting side note: Upon contacting Eero support, the tech confirmed that I had been hacked. I had to change my network, passwords on my accounts, etc. When I plugged the Fing with the dual IP’s into the system, my internet speed was reduced to almost nonexistent. When I took it offline, speeds were back to normal.
Okay, back to my original question, how do I get rid of the bogus IP and get my Fing back into working condition?

You could do an IP reverse lookup to on the IP's for more information. If the ip's are within these ranges
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255Then they might be local IP's which would indicate something is connected to your local network. It's hard to say if Fing is somehow detecting the starting IP of your tunnel or not but yeah.. more information would be needed.

Hi @Edgar_1
Have you blocked or paused any device using Fingbox? It may be IP addresses used by Fingbox for each frequency monitoring or the IP address of the blocked device. Can you check under router settings if the IP addresses matches Fingbox? ThanksRobin (Admin at Fing)

I have 24 ip address in use. 13 of them are the fing box with the same MAC code. Last night it was worse and the router ran out of ip addresses so some connected devices were not able to obtain an ip address. I reset the fing box and everything was ok until I checked this morning. Anyone know what is going on?0
