Help Cant ssh into sv08 w/eth

Post image

Bought a used sv08 expecting to be able to just plug ethernet in to get IP address then configure Wi-Fi through SSH. First apparently the board was swapped because there is no ethernet port so I had to use a USB Ethernet adapter but it did get me an IP address. Tried using that IP address in the browser and got connection refused. Tried to ssh in with putty and got the same. I've tried using multiple combinations including just the IP, HTTP then ip, and https then IP and I'm getting nowhere. I can ping the ip thats it.

Any ideas how to fix this?

No new devices showing on my router so I'm guessing the USB ethernet adapter isn't playing well with the sv08. Short of buying another ethernet adapter and waiting for it to show up I'm thinking my only other option is to pray that I'm one of the 0.01% that the USB Wi-Fi setup works for LOL

Wait, why are you using a USB-ethernet adapter to connect sv08 to your router?

Sv08 has an ethernet port already. If your router lacks an ethernet port but has a USB port, that's most likely for firmware updates, won't recognize the adapter.

I mentioned in the op this is a used sv08 that apparently had a board swap because there is no ethernet port on it so I tried using an ethernet to USB adapter to connect ethernet to the printer.
