I have done a factory reset and want to add my Fingbox to my iOS app. The Fingbox is slowly blinking green and the app displays "Looking for Fingbox - The light on the top circle shall be green. It may take a few minutes"

I have tried several times, but the iOS app either just keep searching or goes to "Fingbox not found - Please make sure you are connected to the same Wi-Fi your Fingbox is plugged to". I have now had the "looking for Fingbox" screen open for 45 minutes and still no box discovered.

The Fingbox is connected to my router via ethernet cable and I have my iPhone connected through Wifi to the same router. Before I did a factory reset I had a connection between my iPhone and my Fingbox, and I have not done any changes on the physical connections since it was working, except for disconnecting the power of the Fingbox during factory reset.

    So you no longer see it or the network it discovered in your account?  Did you check the website as well?

    @stephan, have you ever configured this Fingbox before or is this a new one?

    I have configured it before, and then I did a factory reset and have also removed it from the iOS-app

    It was removed from my iPhone. I logged in to the web and removed all networks listed on my profile, and then my phone found the fing box

    Did you buy your fingbox new or used?

    When you try to set it up, are you on the same network as the fingbox? (aka is your phone on the same wifi network)

    if you just use the app and scan your network, does it see everything but your Fingbox?

    Also, when you plug your Fingbox in, there is a light on top.  What pattern or color do you see?  That can tell us what the Fingbox condition is.

    It’s a green light, blinking with a rhythm:

    once…… two-three

    once……two-three

    ….

    Good news is that flashing green means ready for activation.  Have you tried using a different network cable or plugging it into a different port on your router?  Also, try to plug its ethernet cable directly into your router if you can.

    If you did and it's still a no go, let us know your network setup.  What router, firewalls, topology are you using etc...  @Michal_From_Fing or @Karl_From_Fing, tagging you both for awareness.
