Connecting to your DeviceFreedom

Once your DeviceFreedom is set up and connected to your router, you can access it from any device on the same network.

Open devicefreedom.local

On a computer or phone connected to the same network, open a browser and go to http://devicefreedom.local. This works on most devices and networks out of the box.

If it doesn't work

Some routers and devices don't support .local addresses. If it doesn't load, you can use your DeviceFreedom's IP address instead — for example, http://192.168.1.100. Here are a few ways to find it:

• Check Settings. If you can already access your DeviceFreedom, your local IP address is shown in Settings.
• Check your router's app. If you have a modern router like Eero, Google Wifi, or Orbi, open its companion app and look for a device named "devicefreedom" in the list of connected devices.
• Use the Fing app. Fing is a free app that scans your network and shows all connected devices. Look for "devicefreedom" in the list.
• Check your router's admin page. Open 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in your browser (check your router's documentation for the exact address), log in, and look for a connected device named "devicefreedom".

Once you find the IP address, type it into your browser to access your DeviceFreedom.

Common issues

• Make sure you're on the same network. Your computer or phone must be connected to the same router as your DeviceFreedom — not a guest network or a different access point.
• Make sure your DeviceFreedom is powered on and connected via ethernet. Check that the ethernet cable is plugged in to both your DeviceFreedom and your router, and that the LED is on.
• Try a different browser. Some browsers or extensions can interfere with .local address resolution.
• Restart your router. If your DeviceFreedom was recently connected, your router may need a moment to assign it an IP address. A restart can help.
