Check the first line

> * ✅ A good address is 192.168.x.x, or 10.x.x.x
> * 🚫Not a good address: 169.254.x.x . It means that your device has no access to the internet. It has access to your local network but not the internet (it's called a link-local address)

Check [how to tell if I'm connected to the internet](/most-common-issues/how-to-tell-if-the-device-is-connected-to-the-internet.md), and how to [connect the device to the internet](/setup-instructions/connecting-to-the-internet.md).&#x20;
