I loaded octoprint to my raspberry pi zero w (I know, not recommended but I am not using a camera). It has connected to my guest network (2.4 GHz) and the IP address has been assigned. However, I cannot get it to connect in Google chrome by typing in the IP. I always get the message "(IP) took too long to respond".
What I have tried:
Rebooted Pi
Rebooted computer
Re-installed octoprint to the drive
I can provide more information as needed. I am no expert with these things!
I had the pi connected to my guest internet. I did this because I thought my main internet was only 5 GHz. However, I forgot about this smart feature with my TP Link router to automatically change devices to 2.4 GHz if they don't need the speed of 5 GHz. This fixed my issue.
