    Hi @jonoju, perhaps a little detail on your issue would allow the community to help you?

    Hi, there are only two iPhones in the house yet a third one was detected, I received an alert saying a new iPhone detected (with the last two numbers on the IP address different) so thought perhaps the neighbours had logged in to the Wi-Fi?

    Apple has a feature called private wifi address.  if it's on, your phone will occasionally get a new Mac address which could confuse Fing into thinking you have a new device.  You can safely turn it off on a trusted network (it's a network by network setting).  Then see if you see the third object again.
