Network discovery
Find every device on your network
Fing’s network discovery engine detects every device on your Wi-Fi or wired network in seconds — even hard-to-find smart appliances. Powered by a recognition engine trained on millions of devices over 10+ years, Fing’s network device discovery goes far beyond what your router’s admin panel can show.
Network Inventory
Catalog every device with full detail
Fing builds a detailed network inventory for every device found: brand, model, OS, IP address, MAC address, and connection status – whether you’re managing a home network of 10 devices or an office with hundreds. Deploy Fing Agent for 24/7 continuous network inventory management without lifting a finger.
Unauthorized Device Detection
Spot intruders and unknown devices instantly
With a complete network discovery and inventory in place, any unauthorized user or unknown IoT device stands out immediately — identified by name, brand, and type. Set up alerts for new connections so you’ll know the moment something unexpected joins your network.
