Un Android device goes a long way and its functionalities are increasingly diverse. Today we bring you a powerful application that will help you know who is online to your local WiFi network.
Fing is an application that will allow you to manage your WiFi network simply from your phone, apart from the fact that it will provide you with other very important information and functionalities.
Fing is one of those simple and free applications that has a lot of value in itself, that apart from providing the list of devices connected to our local network, allows you to change their name to identify them and even know the IP and NAT of each one, in addition to other functionalities that we will show you below.
The moment we open the application the list of connected devices will be displayed directly of which those that are shaded will be disconnected. Each of them will have its IP address and above it the "MAC" address, which is the unique identifier of a device. On the left you can even customize the icon to more easily identify the terminal, and on the other side the manufacturer of the connected device.
