If the link-local address (zynthian.local) is not found, make sure that the link-local feature is enabled in your system. Sometimes it's disabled and link-local names are not recognized (windows). If you can't manage to get link-local names to work, you can use the Zynthian's IP address. The zynthian's IP address can be found int the UI's "Admin->Network Info" menu, and it's also printed on the zynthian's error screen. See: [[Finding your IP address]]

+== Wifi Hotspot ==
+
+You can connect to your Zynthian using the built-in Wifi Hotspot mode. This is less convenient than using Ethernet or an existing Wifi network, and is mostly useful to configure connections to other wifi networks.
+
+# Open the Admin screen on your Zynthian.
+# Select the "Wifi Hotspot" option.
+#* This will take up to thirty seconds to complete.
+# Connect to the "zynthian" network with another device.
+# In the Admin screen on your Zynthian, select "Network Info".
+# Connect to the displayed IP address with the browser on your other device.
+
+Note that the wifi network created in hotspot mode allows anyone to connect. If using the wifi hotspot in a public place, ensure you've changed your Zynthian password.
