Confirm that you are plugged
Confirm that you are plugged into ports 2, 3, or 4 on the Mikrotik hAP, and that your computer is getting an IP address from the hAP?

Hi Brian.

How is your hAP connected?  Is it connected by a dumb switch to your computer or is it connected directly to your home router?

If you're connected via a dumb switch to your PC, without going into the details, the easiest way to find the IP of your hAP is to use Angry IP Scanner.  Run a scan of all IP's on whatever network you're connected to and the device connected to Port 8080 should be your hAP.  Note the IP address (starting with 192.), copy it, paste it into your browser's search bar and the status page should come up.

If your hAP is connected directly to your home router, you can use Angry IP Scanner as noted above, but you should be able to just use http://localnode.local.mesh:8080/ to get to your hAP. 

As a rule of thumb, I do initial AREDN installs using a dumb switch and I do all subsequent firmware updates without a dumb switch and my hAp directly connected to my home router or the AREDN network.    Regardless, Angry IP scanner is the tool I use to find my devices if DHCP changes the IP address.
