in Fing App Tips & Tricks #1
I just received a new router/gateway from my ISP.  I was advised by the technician that my 2G WiFi service is affected by an unknown source of interference.  Can Fing help to detect this mysterious source (other router or electronic device, etc?

    The Fing application can't directly do this but a WiFi scanner type application can show you other devices in the 2.4ghz range and show you what channel they are using. With this information you can select a less congested channel in the gateway wireless settings.
