    The service may not be down, but it does seem to be having performance problems. After seeing these email from this thread, I opened the App on my phone and my fingbox was unreachable. A few minutes later it came back online.  I then tried connecting to app.fing.com from my PC's browser and it took almost 5 minutes for it to come up and ask me to login.  And now, just as I am typing this my fingbox became unreachable again.  You are clearly having a service problem!

    Robin, you are having service problems. I have an excellent internet connection, I have no IP conflict, I am on max size and I have turned on and off. I have checked the cable by replacing and also changed the Ethernet port.

    long orange and 2 organogenesis flashes on the Fingbox which is exactly the same issue as the other week, 

    please check your database tables.

    I was down  3 hours, came back and now down an hour. I agree even community log in was very slow today. I noted a synchronisation error on the account but resolved when resynced on the app
    The intermittency of the connection suggests server connection issue. 
    I’m on V1 Fingbox, are you?

    I am on a V1 also, but I also noticed that the Windows desktop application could not complete its checks or device scans during the time my fingbox was unreachable.  Clearly an AWS service issue, again.

    Hi
    I've just replaced a broken fingbox v1 (which worked fine for 2+ years) with a new fingbox v2.
    After one day of the new fingbox being plugged in a working, I'm now seeing the LED light change from Solid Blue to Flashing Red every few minutes.
    If I use the fing App on my mobile, it doesn't always find the fingbox. On the occasion that it does find the "fingbox network". I see that it has not been updated for 12+ hours (which is when the problem first started). I also find that I cannot make any alterations from the App. for example  I cannot change how the devices are "sorted". It presents the window with the options, but doesn't allow me to select anything.

    As my fingbox was connected on a 16 port switch and using a USB cable connected to a USB power hub. I have tried moving the fingbox and connected it directly to the router and  used the supplied power cable. This made no difference in the behaviour what so ever.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what's wrong?

    My FingBox (1) has been working for years without any problems.
    Now for 2-3 weeks it's flashes Orange and sometimes it's turning to normal Blue for a few minutes.
    Any answer or solution??

    Once again the silence from Fing is deafening.   Come on guys, get it together and start reporting status.  Your customers having to be the ones to report when your backend service is having problems is not acceptable. Have all the new desktop applications overloaded your AWS service?

    I'm having issues with the desktop app and the browser app. Windows 10 and Edge browser. The desktop app is very unresponsive with blank white screens. The browser app takes forever to login and navigate between pages. I've had internal server 500 error messages this evening in the browser app. I tested my internet speed and both download and upload are as I would expect them and I have no known issues using other web sites or services.

    What is disappointing is I raised this issue this afternoon and it wasn’t investigated- just a cookie cutter email response of local diagnostic checks. Whilst I completed them to discount those issues, I’ve had no further response when I confirmed it had not resolved the problem. I’ve asked repeatedly for a systems status alert for Fing services so end users are not having to waste so much time on fault finding. As Fing transitions into a paid for service this needs addressing once and for all now or I would struggle to recommend what was once an excellent application and piece of hardware. The desktop application was poorly developed and I had to uninstall completely on a Mac. I wasn’t in a position to effectively beta test for them. February has been a shocking month of service with extremely poor communication. As one of their first adopters I would have hoped for more support and interaction. Therefore I think @PeterP, your comment is fair and accurate and I hope @Robin can use this feedback to seek more development time to address the user base frustrations.

    Thanks for this notice about AWS issues.  As of yesterday I'm still having issues with my two Fingboxes connecting to the Fing software servers.  My version 1 Fingbox keeps going from green to blinking orange every few minutes, and my new version 2 Fingbox keeps blinking blue.  Any updates to resolving this Fing software server network connectivity issue?

    CUSTOMER: Knock knock
    FING: Uh,... who's there!
    CUSTOMER: It's just us, your paying customers (and FingBox owners) 
    FING: There's nobody here... 
    CUSTOMER: Well then who are you? 
    FING: I'm the ghost of what was, and what could be, just not what should be...
    CUSTOMER: Any chance that someone with answers will be back anytime soon? 
    FING: ............. Silence............... Boo (hehe)............. Silence.....

    I'm seeing the same thing.   Fing app says network is okay, and I do have internet access.  IS this some sort of attack?

    Fing folks, if you want people to subscribe to premium services, then you need to have a customer service organization that operates 24/7. I am sure your developers are working overtime to figure out what's wrong, but your customer facing people seem to tune out for half of the day. I have worked for computer, networking and storage companies for over 40 years, and companies that are successful are the ones that take care of their customers. Just a little helpful advice.

    Why oh why does this keep happening to my fingbox! Has happened multiple times since the main Fing Crash due to Amazon Web service issues back in Dec 2020. Will this ever be fixed?

    I'm now at the point where I have to turn off my Fingbox for the day once it starts flashing orange...

    Is this just a backhanded method by Fing to get us FINGBOX users to convert over to the online Subscription system?

    @PimmioDeMenorca, flashing orange means the Fingbox is having issues calling home.  Could be a communication issue between the Fingbox and home, an internet issue you have between you and your ISP etc...  See this link for troubleshooting steps for light conditions.  Scroll down to the Orange light troubleshooting section.

    Is there a server or app issue today?? My Fingbox cannot be located even though light is green. Also had problems deleting networks. Please alert consumers immediately when server app issues are present.
