Cannot remove items from Fing Desktop

Wim_A · November 11, 2021

I bought a new iPad. I gave it a permanent IP address (192.168.1.10).

My 'old' iPad Pro had the same address.

Now, in FING Desktop

I see both iPads. The old one is no longer in the house, but when I delete it, the new one disappears as well.

When I refresh the scan, they both appear again.

How do I remove the old iPad Pro?

Hi,
If you are using an Apple device to run the Fing app with IOS14 then please refer to this article which has detailed information on how to make Fing app work with IOS14 and above: https://www.fing.com/news/private-mac-address-on-ios-14

Thank you, but this is not the answer to my problem.

As you can see on the picture in my message there are two different iPads, one is new, the other I sold.

Both are still in the list and I cannot remove the sold one. When I do they both dissapear and when I refresh they are both back.

As you mentioned, when you delete the old one, the new one gets deleted as well. It might be the same device if you have enabled private mac address enabled on iPad. Can you check if you have private mac address enabled or not?

No, private Mac address is not enabled. See the picture I send earlier: different addresses for the iPads.

it's been 14 days without any reaction. Please react?

As said before: it is NOT the same iPad with a private adres. The one I still have is the Apple iPad, the one I have sold is the Apple iPad Pro 9.7.

They are both visible in Fing, although the Pro has been sold a month or so ago.

Removing the Pro does also remove the other; after a rescan both are back in Fing.

Hi @Wim_A
Apologies for delay in responding. As I can see from your account, there is no discrepancy. You can try to delete the whole network identified by Fing app or Fing desktop and then clear cache and then check if issue persists?

Delete the whole network: how?
