How do i disable bad connectivity warnings?





"bad connectivity" is normal connectivity here.
This happened not even 30 minutes after i installed version 2.7.2 and it (normally) keeps happening all day long

Seeing constant alerts of "bad connectivity" is akin to "wolf crying".
It will make me miss important alerts due to always having an alert present, as this can happen up to 30 times per day.
I need a way to disable unnecessary warnings that i know are "the norm".

Hi,
Can you share the alerts screenshot so I can guide you better?I believe the notification you are referring to is the connectivity alert when your device was either in sleep mode or the Fing desktop was unable to connect to the internet. When you manually scan or refresh the network, then Fing desktop re-runs the network scan and is able to talk to its servers and run the checks identifying everything is working alright.
The Connectivity alert is only for that particular time when Fing desktop was unable to run checks due to the device was in sleep mode or the internet was disconnected. You can always refresh the scan to make sure if everything is working alright at the current time.

when the Fing desktop is doing its normal health check while running in background, there are chances of unreliable DNS resolution by router and once it goes unstable then Fing desktop catches that and thus warns you. Once you refresh the scan then it is able to actively work and thus everything is normal on Fing desktop.
If you configure the router dns settings with 8.8.8.8 then you will find there will be no errors or alerts. DNS resolution going unreliable by router is common.

the dnses are alread 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 but i get warnings several times per day. Here. i just turned on the pc and it already has a warning! how am i supposed to use it if i get so many flags that i need to check on it several times per day to see if it's the usual or something new? Give me a way to disable specific warnings.

And once again this morning
The problem with this stuff is not that it is not useful, it's that "yeah my connection sucks but there are no alternatives, so stop bothering me" is not something i can tell to fing.
I keep getting a warning notification, only to go there and see it's yet again another "your connection sucks" warning which is just about as useful as a wind-powered rotary fan that only works in the direction of the wind.

so... what i need is some way to tell it not to constantly notify me about this stuff which i consider "normal" (connectivity problems then all good) and tell me about the actual problems i might have.0

Because the notifications cannot be rightclicked to mute them, nor they have any menu icon that shows up on hover.
Clicking on them gives me the generic network menu of where i can check the network menu, but there is no option on the router or elsewhere to mute that very specifc notification.
If i go to preferences i get to disable ALL notifications or none. So. I am either missing something or i have no clue.
What i want is get RELEVANT information not a constant wolf-crying that makes me feel like i spent money for one of those alarm systems that constantly beeps an alarm until you shut it off completely because it's just annoying and you should either be constantly on edge or have peace of mind, but, knowing you won't be alerted of actual problems/trouble, so as to make it 100% useless.0 -

When you receive the warning code like W810, and you open the report then you will see (?) icon on right. If you click on it then you will get an option to Mute that particular warning.Robin (Admin at Fing)

normally i go to "notifications"
this is currently empty because i just turned on the PC.
When i see the warnings above there is no way to go.
@dperry112 was doing i understood i should instead go here:
and turn off the notifications i see here.
WHICH I HOPE means turning off the type of notification (poor or no connectivity in my case, since those are quite normal), not the specific notification (at datetime xy there was this error) and neither all kinds of warnings.0
