Scan your network to get updated network information, see and track changes, for example, when a new device joined the network, and understand network details, including Wi-Fi and network setup.
Fing Starter and Fing Premium continuously scan your network to display the latest device list and details so you don't have to initiate a scan for up-to-date information. You can also manually initiate a scan on Fing Desktop and Fing Mobile. To initiate a manual scan on Fing Desktop, select Scan Discovery from the top right corner of the Fing Desktop dashboard or any of the dashboard card windows.
If your Fing Desktop network and Fing mobile app are linked, you cannot scan directly from Fing mobile and the information you see is from your Fing Desktop. If you need to do a manual scan from Fing mobile, you need to detach or unlink Fing mobile and desktop.
With a free Fing account or if your agent is not activated, you can perform up to three network scans per day, but you do not have access to continuous network monitoring provided by the Fing agent.
You can however perform a manual scan from the dashboard.
View Previously Scanned Networks
You can view previously scanned networks on Fing App and Fing Mobile. To view previously scanned and previously monitored networks, on Fing Web App, select the Network pull-down menu to display monitored and previously scanned networks. In the example below, the network marked Connected is continuously monitored, and the Home Office network is suspended but can be switched to monitoring status at any time. The other networks are previously and manually scanned networks.
Scanning and Fing Mobile App
You can view current (monitored) and previously scanned networks from Fing Mobile App. To do so, from the Dashboard, select the circular icon with 3 dots at the top right hand corner.
Detach/Delete Fing Desktop from Fing Mobile App
To delete the Fing Desktop network from your Fing Mobile App so you can run a manual scan from your Fing Mobile App:
- Login to your Fing Mobile App with the account details you use for Fing Desktop.

Detaching a network on Fing Mobile App removes it from the Home tab.
