Wi-Fi, network and app troubleshooting

Find a MuPiBox NG on the LAN and diagnose Wi-Fi, mDNS, admin access and smartphone connectivity.

Local access first #

Find the box IP in your router. Open http://<IP>:8090/admin/ from a device on the same LAN. If the IP works but mupibox.local does not, investigate mDNS rather than assuming the box is offline. Check guest-Wi-Fi isolation and firewall/VLAN boundaries.

Wi-Fi failure #

Review the selected adapter, SSID and stored credentials under Network. If settings break connectivity, try wired LAN or local access. Repeated dropouts can be caused by power or Wi-Fi power saving.

Online providers fail #

If local media works, check internet/DNS, provider authentication, parental restrictions and logs.

Smartphone app #

Browser security rules may block HTTPS-to-local-HTTP connections or request local network permission. See Security & app.

Read-only SSH checks #

ip -br address ip route systemctl status mupibox-ng --no-pager journalctl -u mupibox-ng -b --no-pager -n 80
