[SOLVED] WiFi and SSH

[TheOldPresbyope]

Did you use the RPI imager and set the wifi address? and username/password ?

Hi

This done now, WiFi is working, though the moode.local name is not found on the network

So I can get there by IP address, but not the URL

Any thoughts on how to improve pickup of the alias?

I suspect I might have to figure out how to put a static IP on this, just in case

The fully qualified domain name hostname.local is just vanilla multicast DNS aka mDNS.

Possible reasons it might not be found on your LAN

• you changed the hostname to something besides moode. The fix is obvious
  
• your AP is blocking the multicast packets. That's unlikely but it would be on you to figure out and fix.
  
• you're trying to find the player using a web browser on an older Android device. Google fixed that problem some releases ago but unless you upgrade to recent Android you're stuck with using the IP address.
  
• ?
  

None of my end-user devices---Google Pixel 6a phone, Apple iPhone SE, Apple iPad, Linux Minx laptop, my partner's Windows 10 laptop--- have any trouble discovering my various moOde players using mDNS.
