Connect to Your Pi using the mDNS address

WLAN Pi mDNS Record

wlanpi-xxx.local

Try ping wlanpi-xxx.local, where xxx are the last 3 characters of your WLAN Pi Ethernet MAC address.

Or ssh wlanpi@wlanpi-xxx.local.

Access via mDNS can be a bit hit & miss for Windows users. If having difficulty, use the IP address of the WLAN Pi shown on the front panel instead.
