After almost 3 days of not being able to connect my node to umbrel.local. I have tried ssh, reflash microcard, etc I don’t see my umbrel on my router congig on the ethernet port.

Am i missing something

Would someone please help me start from zero so I can enjoy this umbrel node like it was meant to be.

Since aparently whenever I first installed it it worked flawlesly

My mistake was to shut it down correctly, but makes me wonder if the same would happen if the power goes out.

Thanks
