The challenges schools face every day
Network problems disrupt lessons, waste staff time, and go unnoticed for days. These scenarios happen in schools everywhere.
Everything a school network needs
One tool to discover, monitor, troubleshoot, and secure your school network
See what's connected
Run a single scan and get a complete inventory of everything connected — projectors, tablets, printers, access points, and every student phone on the Wi-Fi. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Get alerted instantly
Get a notification on your phone or by email the instant a projector, printer, or access point drops or appear online. Check it the same day, not a week later when someone reports it.
Find the problem fast
When the internet goes down, any staff member can open Fing and see in 30 seconds whether it's the router, the provider, or a single device. No technical training required.
Control who connects
See every device that joins your network, identify unknown ones, and automatically block them from connecting — keeping classroom tech running smoothly and your network secure.
A school network, fully mapped
The average school has 50–200 connected devices across multiple rooms and buildings. Fing gives you a single, real-time view of all of them.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need technical knowledge to use Fing?
No. Fing is built so anyone responsible for the school’s network can use it, from IT managers running multiple sites to office managers or head teachers who handle tech alongside everything else. The interface is visual and intuitive: just run a scan and you’ll see every device on your network in plain language. No command-line tools, no certifications, no jargon.
How does the education discount work?
To apply for the education discount, contact us from your school or institution email address, providing details (school name, website, and your role). We’ll verify your eligibility in a couple of working days and share your discount code. The discount is permanent: it applies to every renewal, for as long as you use Fing Professional.
How many networks can I monitor?
Fing Professional includes monitoring for up to 3 networks, which covers most school setups (e.g., main building, gym/sports hall, admin offices). If your campus has more than 3 networks, add-on packs are available to extend coverage.
Does Fing work with our existing router and Wi-Fi setup?
Yes. Fing works with any router, Wi-Fi setup, or ISP. You don’t need to change or replace anything: just install Fing Desktop on a computer connected to your network and run a scan.
Is student data at risk?
No. Fing sees devices, not traffic. It identifies what’s connected to your network (device name, type, manufacturer, IP address, MAC address, connection status), but it does not intercept, read, or store any content — no browsing history, no emails, no files.
Can multiple staff members access the same dashboard?
Yes. Fing Professional includes shared workspaces, so your head teacher, office manager, and IT volunteer can all see the same network information. You control who has access through role management.
