In reply to Michael. So with the router how do you track bandwidth issues for various devices. I don't see much beyond connectivity and total traffic. I can't easily break down device by devive usage with just a router and log file. I'd have to go each device open the interface app and see packets at each interface, which I can not do simultaneously. My router only says about uptime/lease time and total packet count to the WAN not by device.

Fingbox can’t monitor bandwidth continuously 🙁
It can’t automatically block all unknown devices – you just need do it manually. 🙁 🙁

Fing in Hungarian means fart. We use the word BOX very often in it’s English form when speaking Hungarian, so no doubt, every Hungarian geek will agree with me, that this is definitely a FartBox. Thanks! LOL

In reply to User. We get your point, its not a 'requirement' however it does allow our Smart Home tech to talk to each other.

Seems rather pointless since most at least decent routers offer these features built in already, I guess it makes it easier for the non-tech savvy people…. But My asus router already implements all these functions and more on its own, no need to have a second piece of hardware that will be out of date in 5 years (aka no longer supported by firmware updates)

Since when is IFTTT a requirement for everything these days?

In reply to John James. Thanks for your comment John & sorry to hear Fing Box is not working out for you. We still have ours plugged in and use it quite a bit. Hopefully they can resolve your issues, a new firmware came out a few days ago have you tried that?

The shipping version of Fingbox has turned out to be anywhere from problematic to a nightmare for many users. Join their Facebook group for more details: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fingboxgroup/?source_id=155941194824890

After running mine for two weeks, I had to disconnect it — network slowdowns and other unexplained problems. Tech support asked me for specifics which I provided, however I’ve never heard back from them.

My fingers are crossed that future firmware updates will fix these problems.
