Finding Your Hub IP Address

Prerequisites​

  • Download and install Angry IP Scanner from the official website
  • Ensure your hub is connected to the network via Ethernet cable
  • Hub should be powered on with the correct power supply

Instructions​

1. Run Angry IP Scanner as Administrator​

Windows:

  1. Right-click on the Angry IP Scanner icon or executable
  2. Select "Run as administrator" from the context menu
  3. Click "Yes" when Windows asks for permission (UAC prompt)

2. Configure the Scanner​

  1. Open Angry IP Scanner (now running as administrator)
  2. The IP range should automatically detect your network range (e.g., 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254)
  3. If not, manually set the range to match your network subnet

3. Enable MAC Address Vendor Detection​

  1. In Angry IP Scanner, go to Tools menu
  2. Select Fetchers
  3. In the Fetchers window, check the box for MAC Vendor
  4. Click OK to save the settings

4. Run the Network Scan​

  1. Click the Start button to begin scanning
  2. Wait for the scan to complete (may take 1-2 minutes)
  3. Look through the results for devices that respond

5. Identify the Hub​

  1. Look in the MAC Vendor column for entries showing "Raspberry Pi"
  2. The hub will appear as a Raspberry Pi device
  3. Note the IP address in the same row (e.g., 192.168.1.108)
  4. Verify the device is alive/responding (green indicator or "Alive" status)

6. Access the Hub​

  1. Copy the IP address of the Raspberry Pi device
  2. Open a web browser
  3. Enter the IP address with port: http://[IP_ADDRESS]:8080 (E.g., http://192.168.1.108:8080)
  4. This should open the hub's local web interface

Troubleshooting​

If Hub Doesn't Appear​

  • Check that hub is properly connected via Ethernet (not WiFi)
  • Verify hub power supply is connected and LED indicators are on
  • Try expanding IP range (e.g., 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.2.254)
  • Check if your router has separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks
  • Ensure computer and hub are on same network subnet
  • If you are on a corporate network, check whether IP scanning is blocked

Network Subnet Issues​

  • If using mesh networks, devices may be on different subnets
  • Check check your printers’ IP addresses on the LCD screen. Compare with your computer’s IP address on AngryIP. If they are different, try scanning the printer IP address range.
