I have instaled DietPi\_RPi-ARMv6-Buster.img with balenaetcher when i run this i have to setup wifi on first boot, i put in my wifi details and test the connection everything works afther the instalation is complete it shows my local network ip adress but no ssh is possible to this adress?
also tried to edit dietpi tekst with the wifi enabled and land disabled and edited the wifi tekst same result
it has a internet connection to install everything except for ssh, also tried open ssh to instal same result no ssh possible.

Hi,
many thanks for your message. Which SSH you are running now? Did you removed Dropbear before installation of OpenSSH? Can you check if there is a SSH server running on LISTEN on port 22
```nohighlight
ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN
```

Use the command OI posted above to verify what is running on port 22
```nohighlight
ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN
```

```nohighlight
journalctl -u dropbear.service
```

good that it is working now. But the behavior reminds me on a case we had in the past. It took us quite some time to find out what the issue was and who blocked SSH access. At the an TP-LINK Access Point was preventing SSH access. If you have time, you can read through this post [https://dietpi.com/forum/t/ssh-never-get-to-prompt/4651/1](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/ssh-never-get-to-prompt/4651/1)
BTW. A successful SSH connection will looks like this on the logs
```nohighlight
root@DietPiProd:~# journalctl -u dropbear.service
