FPP 7.3 Network

[ostberg77]

 Every time I finish setting up my RPi3 with FPP 7.3, I can't get back into it. I've followed the manual, I've followed a number of different videos, will not let me connect to it after setup. The error is "took too long to respond". What could be causing this?

IP address change? Can you see it in your router?

[ostberg77]

No. Once I set the network settings and restart, it's gone.

What are the network settings you are setting and what are your networks settings.

Make sure you are using 7.3.1 installation image.  7.3.0 has a few issues and should not be used.  As tbone suggest, if you're assigning IPs that are not local, or not using the correct gateway settings that would make it unavailable after network settings are adjusted. Print screens of your settings would help us eliminate possibilities.

It does take a long time for the system to come back up some times, so make sure you are being patient giving it enough time to come back up.  Have also heard the process is CPU intensive and weak power supplies attached to the FPP device may not have enough power to get it across the finish line.  Might try a different power supply if you are running out of options to try.

I found it! Should have written down the show network password, I would have seen it was wrong.  Oops..
