Good day to everyone

Can someone please help me figure this out, I’m a bit older and having a hard time understanding why I cannot connect to my Umbrel 😅. I followed all the steps to install Umbrel on a Raspberry Pi 4; running Advance IP Scanner and I cannot find the IP address; typing in the browser [http://umbrel/](http://umbrel/) doesn’t work either. I do not use a VPN and I am running windows.

Rasberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB

Thank you for you help

It’s possible, it hasn’t connected to the network. I had a similar problem and it turned out the I had the drive plugged into the wrong port. Review the picture on the instructions. Also, check to ensure the router has a light for your connection (assuming hardwired).
