Bandwidth Analysis

If your Internet is slow, you can use the Bandwidth Analysis feature to determine if there is a device currently slowing down your network or using too much band (called Bandwidth Hogging). The

Bandwidth Analysis feature is controlled through the Fing mobile App on IOS or Android. 

Here is an example of the Bandwidth Analysis showing the download size on the device Pixel-4-XL.  You can also show Download Speed, Upload Speed, and Upload Size.

 

 

Note: The bandwidth analysis is only available on Fing Mobile and Fing Mobile controlled Agent, Monitoring Unit, or Fingbox.

To control your Agent or Monitoring unit from your mobile app, do this:

  1. From Overview, click the circular icon with three dots at the top right of the page.
  2. The My Networks page is displayed. Select the network with the Agent, Monitoring Unit, or Fingbox icon beside it.

 The Bandwidth Hogging device needs to be relative to your overall Internet speed. For example, a device using 10 Mbit/s on a network with an Internet speed of 20 is significant. By contrast, a device using 10 Mbit/s on a network with an Internet speed of 150 Mbit/s is not significant compared to the overall capacity of the Internet connection.

Use Bandwidth Analysis on a Fing Mobile App Controlled Agent, Monitoring Unit, or Fingbox

  1. From Overview, click the Online devices widget or the blue See devices button
  2. Click the Network tab
  3. Scroll down to Bandwidth Analysis under the Manage this network heading. This will take you to the Bandwidth Analysis page.
  4. Select the devices you think are using too much bandwidth from the list
  5. Click the blue Analyze now button at the top of the page

The Bandwidth Analysis page is displayed. The Bandwidth Analysis tool automatically analyses the download speed. To change the analysis between download speed, upload speed, download size and upload size, click the Change button.

Note: You must perform the bandwidth analysis manually. Fingbox does not continuously monitor the bandwidth consumption of your devices because this would re-route all traffic on your network through Fingbox. Doing this constantly could potentially slow down your network.
