Alternatives to Fing?

I've got Fing but it seems I haven't used it for a while, as I can only pause the internet on devices if I subscribe, which I'm not going to do. Are there free alternatives? I just want to pause or stop the internet for connected devices.

Have you tried patching with Morphe?

Okay but can these apps find and pause devices that are connected - that is all I want to do

But can I find and pause devices connected to WiFi?

It has router administration

I am not sure. If I see a foreign device in my network I use the MAC address to block them at the router level. No pausing. If I want to unblock them I can remove the setting in the router. Are you using this to control kids connections? If so most modern routers have controls for what you want to do; why not use their app instead? Do you own or rent the router? You might not have full control if you rent. I would have to know more about your setup. I only use the app occasionally for my job and at home. I tend to do the work directly in a web browser with admin access to the router once I have a proper network scan complete.

Wifiset, while it is not free, is better than fing. I feel that this is the best app nowadays.

I've got Ubiquiti wlan's that come with free network server on your computer and manage with a free app. Mebe your wifi access point has an app to do that?
