What is the error message that indicates ICMP (ping) or ssh is not successful?
When networking between devices on the network, I have found that assigning IP addresses to them make the process go more smoothly. This feature is found in the web management system, Advanced tab, LAN Setup. The hardware MAC address of each device is associated with a specific IP address. (for example, my last five desktop printers have all been 192.168.1.4. So, it's automatic. "The printer is 4". The Raspberry Pi is "30". etc.)
