Hi @Bosco , just to confirm, have you tried scanning your local network for a new IP that your Umbrel might be accessible by? https://angryip.org/
I see a lot of users having issues connecting to umbrel.local and most of them are Windows users.
I will try to put here some simple steps so everybody can try them.
Not having access to your Umbrel doesn’t really means your Umbrel is broken. Means that the PC from where you access it can’t see it in your LAN or in the parameters you configure your LAN.
So could be 4 reasons that maybe your Umbrel is not accessible:
IP assigned. The IP for the Umbrel is not set fix, or was changed by your DHCP router, or is not in the same range of your regular LAN.
Your computer from where you are accessing, doesn’t know the new IP or couldn’t find the IP related to umbrel.local. Some Windows versions update that information and sometimes simply block it.
Hardware issues. If your HDD/SSD with data has connection failures, the Umbrel OS will enter into a loop`and cannot be accessible.
Software issues. Very rare when UmbrelOS is stuck. So in 99% of cases a restart and a good amount of time waiting to come back (re-sync the blocks) will fix it. So be patient and after restart just wait before doing any further investigation.
