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 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.
