If you're unable to access RaspAP's web interface from the default http://10.3.141.1/ address, do the following:
1. Be sure your browser isn't forcing SSL by appending https:// to the address, which can result in misleading errors. This may sound obvious but it's reported frequently. (Related: add [SSL support for RaspAP](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/SSL-certificates-(Quick-Installer)))
2. Connect your device to wired ethernet and access on the `eth0` interface using a method below. Check the logs for hostapd errors and reconfigure the service, or run the installer again to restore the default configuration.
2. Connect your device to wired ethernet and access it via the browser or SSH on the `eth0` interface using one of the methods below. Check the logs for hostapd errors and reconfigure the service, or run the installer again to restore the default configuration.
3. There are [several methods](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ip-address.md) to determine your Pi's IP address. RaspAP's installer only configures a static IP addresses for the AP interface on `wlan0`. If the AP has entered a failed state, you may still be able to connect on an alternate IP.
4. Recent versions of the RPi OS kernel include the `avahi-daemon` which provides multicast DNS. On client computers with the Bonjour service installed (all MacOS machines and Windows PCs with Apple iTunes installed), try accessing your Pi with [http://raspberrypi.local/](http://raspberrypi.local/).
5. If you don't have access to wired ethernet and the above methods fail, configure your Pi for USB-OTG, aka 'on-the-go' or gadget mode. Instructions for enabling USB-OTG vary between various models and not all Pi hardware has support for this.
