network type not saving

Skadoo

when the health check runs I am getting a health check code of W402. I am being prompted to provide a context for my network and when I select it a few seconds later is prompts me to select one again. this started happening about a week ago and for some reason it wont take it, only happens when im not using my vpn. Does anyone know what may be causing this?

Hi @Skadoo
Your VPN might be the issue and VPN hides the real network identity so Fing app is unable to identify if it is scanning the same network or different.

I have the same problem. Every time I open Fing, it runs a scan and tells me that I need to set the context of my network (WiFi, BT HomeHub6) which I duly do but as soon as the rescan is complete, the same warning comes up. I have a BT WiFi disk as well as the hub so I assume there is some problem with multi-pathing. I read a posting that said to disconnect the Disk, set the context, reconnect the disk and, if necessary, set the context again and this would resolve the issue. If I disconnect the Disk, I can successfully set the context but the problem returns as soon as I reconnect it.

Can you go to the device list and set the network context from there and then check if the issue returns or not? Thanks

I have tried that and it still comes up with the same warning when I click Refresh

Can you delete the network identified by Fing desktop from Fing web app and then run the scan again and set network context? It should resolve the issue.

I viewed my network in Fing Web app and changed the name and location of the network (to something more meaningful and accurate - I am in South Wales, not central London as the app believes). Refreshed the desktop app and all seems well with the world. Thanks!
