I am new here and have just received my first Umbrel home!
the first time turned it on all worked fine, setup was easy. how ever after 24hours I
can no long get it to talk to http://umbrel.local for more then a few minutes at a time.
it just becomes unresponsive. any ideas on what may be the issue?
Maybe you can add some more information, like which apps you’re running, any log file, or something like that.
conflicting IP address. More than one device trying to use the same IP.

Instead of using umbrel.local … use the actual IP Address that your Umbrel Home is getting from your router. IP lease on most routers are only good for 24 hours.

Thanks RodB
I have tried that but it is if the network from the umbrel just switchs off, as i can no longer see it on the network at all.

nope that was not the issue.
You could check it’s MAC address and assign a static IP in your router, to discard any IP related issue.

Agree … I run Static IP Address for my 2 UmbrelOS Devices to insure that the IP Addresses never change on me.
