Does your router settings allow local network traffic between devices?
If you connect Bitaxe to the “Guest” network, you won’t be able to access its IP.
I can access my Bitaxe local IP without issues.

I'm able to access other local IPs between different devices.

you could try and turn off your router then power it on. Once it cant find your wifi, it will broadcast its own AP. Connect your comp to that and see if you can see it. If so, update FW to 2.1.8 and ✅✅ pool settings. I messed up my pool settings and it wouldn't let me access it until i fixed it.

This didn't fix my issue.

I updated my firmware to 2.1.8, but that did not fix the issue. After I switched the Bitaxe to a non-guest Wi-Fi, the problem was solved. I'm able to access the AxeOS dashboard without a problem. Thank you.

ok that makes sense. Guest WiFi doesn't usually let clients communicate with each other
