Change the Monitored Network

You can monitor one network per device at any given time.  However, you can switch monitored networks by deactivating from the current network and activating a new or alternative network at any time.  If you monitor network A with your device and then try to monitor network B with the same device, you will get an error message and are prompted to go to Fing Web App to deactivate the network currently monitored by your device.  You can then return to Fing Desktop to activate the new desired network.  To switch between monitored networks, do this:

1. From the Fing Desktop, select Start Monitoring by pulling down on the Not Monitoring button under the network name.  You are prompted to go to Fing Web App to switch the monitored network.
2. 
3. Select Manage Agents to display the current monitoring status in Fing Web App.
4. 
5. Select Deactivate next to the activated network to remove the network currently monitored by your device.
6. On Fing Desktop, select Start Monitoring to monitor the new network.

Change the network monitored on Fing Desktop

You can also change the currently monitored network at any time directly from the Fing App as follows:

1. Open the Fing Web App (www.fing.com).
2. Click the Profile icon in the bottom‑left corner and select Monitoring Sources.
3. Select the currently activated network and click Deactivate.
4. Open Fing Desktop, connect to the network you want to monitor, and click Start Monitoring when prompted.  Fing Desktop starts monitoring the new network.
