Fing, a WiFi scanner
This is a scanner that is responsible for tracking everything that happens on your WiFi connection Something that can be used to see if someone has taken to stealing WiFi. In this way, and from the mobile, it is able to know which WiFi network is connected and its technical characteristics. From there, it tracks all the connected signals, being able to see first-hand which devices make use of the connection. Computers, consoles, mobiles, laptops, etc. With this you can know what is connected and active on your WiFi network. And above all, what should not be using the connection.
Its operation is simple and automatic. And it is that it is a diagnostic application, without being able to carry out really practical functions beyond those purely informativeYou just have to make sure that the mobile is connected to the WiFi network. Thus, just by activating it and waiting a few seconds, Fing takes care of the scanning and recognition.
Detailed information
The good thing about Fing is that it shows all the details about the WiFi network and connected devices. It is even capable of detecting dual-band networks and unifying them under the same connection to present the data in a simple way to the user. Of course, the devices are registered with their IP and MAC address. It even allows you to Ping to check the connection quality.
The only thing missing in this application is cutting off the connection to those unwanted devices. Something that must be done manually, either by changing the connection password or expelling them from the Router settings.
