Hi All,
Is anyone using Fingbox on their network? To address your query, I would like to tell you that if you have Fingbox and then you install Fing desktop then, first of all, you will see multiple networks under your account. Only those networks will merge from Fing mobile app and Fing desktop which are without Fingbox.Also, if you are in the mobile app and then you open Fing Desktop network then names, customization will merge but not with the Fingbox network. And if you have iOS 11+ without mac address and if you run a scan from there, you will see another network w/o any mac address. If you open the network pushed by Fing desktop, you will see it but will not be able to refresh from mobile.

Thanks for the quick response!
Stay Healthy!
Keep in mind that the desktop and mobile are are not the same nor do they share information between them. Hence changes you make on the mobile app (Android or iPhone) do not translate to the desktop.

I don't have a fingbox, but this happened after upgrading fing desktop.
Very surprised to hear desktop and app have and store different information.
I would think it would be shared so a change on one gets updated in the other...
Thanks!

I had noticed minor differences, but this was a complete rename from human back to model #? on desktop...
