Network configuration problem

So you use a wired network connection for the initial connection and setup of the R Pi.
Then when all is finished you disable to Wi-Fi interface of the R Pi.
Then you are no longer able to connect to the R Pi with the browser or app?

Exactly. To be more precise:

1. I install and run the fist setp uf the system connecting to what i believe is the Ethernet IP. However Volumio doesn’t know SSID and pwd of wifi, so…
2. I change the Ethernet IP to DHCP (usually it is something like 192.168.1.177) ti manual static IP (192.168.1.7)
3. I connect to Volumio on .7 and everything is fine
4. I turn off Wifi and Volumio gets unreachable

@pwstereo

This seems odd, are you perhaps inadvertently using a Wi-Fi connection during the initial connection and setup?
What if you disable to wireless interface on the computer you’re using for that initial connection and setup.
Once you’re connected and working on the new install, run a ping to volumio or volumio.local, see what the IP address is, note it.
This will be the IP address assigned to the wired Ethernet interface of the R Pi.

Then if you have weird behaviour after disabling the Wi-Fi interface of the R Pi, you can try the IP address you noted instead of using the dns name.
IE. Enter the IP address into the browser address bar in place of volumio or volumio.local

The first connection is not on wifi, neither the others. Simply I don’t use hotspot or wify at all, but when I try to turn off wifi completely it changes something in the ethernet configuration too, so the device gets disconnected.
As simple as that.
