Is this normal?





Why is Fing displaying 3 networks? Is this how it is supposed to behave?

jamzm said:Just one more question. Why is there a difference in the number of devices between the home and isp networks? One or two of those missing devices are listed under the wifi extender.

It's those variations that mess me up. So, you're saying that what is there is more or less what I should have?Robin (Admin at Fing)

That would be why, because they are showing the hardware and the MAC address assigned to them, not a software addition that can be removed.Yes, per consumer router you could see up to three MAC addresses for the one appliance. One for each of the communication protocols that the router supports."There's a fine line between audacity and idiocy."

Hi...thanks for answering. "RocketSurgery" is my SSID. I thought it would have been the only network displayed. Not sure how "home" or Armstrong ISP is getting there. Is there a way to have everything under SSID?

Thank you for your post. As we have investigated, the reason for multiple networks is due to some access points are saved in the earlier network before activating Fingbox and after adding the Fingbox, not all access points are added to Fingbox. To resolve this, you need to make sure all access points are added to your Fingbox network and then you can delete the old network.
I need you to verify the BSSID section(access points) and see if all access points are added on your Fingbox network or not. This will resolve your issue.
Please follow these steps:
1. Open the Fing App
2. Click on the Network Tab
3. Click on the Network Details section(This is the directly under your network name)
4. Scroll down and locate the Access Point Section
5. You will be able to see the BSSID with an option on the right to remove it.
If any access point is not present then please connect to all access points one by one and try to add the access point if not already present on Fingbox network.
In order to add the access point for Fingbox, first you need to be connected to the access point network which you want to add. Then open the Fing App and choose the Fingbox network from the dropdown list. Go to the ‘Network’ tab and select either Wi-Fi Intrusion Protection or Wi-Fi Performance and you will be able to add the Access point for the current network your device is connected to. You can only add the Access point either from the Wi-Fi Performance tab or Wi-Fi Intrusion Protection tab.
After Adding the access point, you will receive the New Access point alert and you need to accept it as a trusted gateway and the access point will be added successfully.

Hi Robin. My isp is down right now. I will try your suggestion when I get them back. Thank you.
Hi again. Here's where I'm not sure how to proceed. The x's to the right do nothing.
Thanks
