Improve Your Network Security

When you first launch Fing, the Dashboard will give you an overall assessment of your security level.  If you need to address security, you can check and test for open ports that may lead to vulnerabilities, or you can also check for hidden cameras that may cause privacy issues.  If you do find an open port that you are not using, you can close it using your router configuration to improve your security level.

Go to Find and Close Open Portsto learn how to find and close open router ports.

Troubleshoot your Network

You can use the troubleshooting tools Ping to test connectivity with another device and  Trace Route  to check the routing path for delays.  Both tools are available from the Tools dashboard for convenience.

Optimize or Improve Performance

In addition to the tools discussed above, Fing provides features to help optimize or improve network performance, including Managing SSIDs and BSSIDs, Disabling A Firewall, switching networks on Fing, and finding open router ports.
