No can access the FreedomBox from internal network

Recently, I successfully used balenaEtcher to flash the micro SD card with the latest image from https://ftp.freedombox.org/pub/freedombox/hardware/pioneer/stable/freedombox-stable_pioneer_a20-olinuxino-lime2-armhf.img.xz

But I can’t access the FB from any suggested URLs and don’t actually see it on the network via my router admin. What am I missing? What would be the best line of attack to establish communication? I may have written down the FB MAC address from pre-flashing the card when I still couldn’t access but it showed as being offline via router admin.

Would it help to assign a static IP if I’ve got the MAC address. (At work presently.)

  1. Ethernet from FreedomBox direct to Verizon’s FiOS Router (model CR1000A).
  2. Not sure when I purchased the FreedomBox other than it was after 2017.

As it stands, it goes through boot process and concludes at a login prompt.

Log in there on the console and check your IP address with the command
ip address

Does it look like you expect on the same subnet as your other computer?
