I installed 3.5.6 on PI 4 and appears to have successfully installed. However, when trying to access the IP address from my computer, I get an error "Can't reach this page". I have also tried http://fpp and http://fpp.local. I have my FPP connected via HDMI monitor which is how I'm able to see the IP address. 192.168.7.xxx is my home network.
 
you can't use fpp from a 192.168.7.x home network because that range is used for FPP tethering. Ideally you'd change your home network to another range.
 
it appears that 192 networks don't work with FPP so I had to make some adjustments to my router to change it over to a 10 network and that did the trick.
 
I ran my two pi's with FPP on a 192.168.1.x network with no issues what so ever, even over wireless. Perhaps yours didn't get a IP from your router and you saw the ip's that it wanted for FPP tethering?

192 networks work fine, just not 192.168.7.x and 192.168.8.x as Daryl mentioned above - these are reserved for internal functions of FPP
 
Had to re-flash my FPP since I got a new router. Setup the FPP hard wired. When I try to connect to it remotely after configuring my wireless settings, i disconnect the Ethernet cable and try accessing the FPP and it fails. Any ideas?
 
Awesome, got it working. One more question...is there a way to access the FPP when I'm not on my network? Let's say I'm not home (not on my wireless network) and want to reboot it or adjust something etc.,.

That's a little more complicated and I have not reached that step yet. A VPN may be possible but no sure how that works.
 
You could also possibly port forward. But anybody who types your home network address could have access. You could probably I stall nginx along side of fpp like I have with my openhab home automation setup for secure access. Not sure
