Discovery fails on initial installation

I have a new home assistant green. Plugged it in and net cable to my router.

lights are blinking, router issues DHCP address and shows it in the DHCP log.

On the same network and the discovery fails. tried entering ip address manually in the form http://192.168.10.179:8123 – fails

ping fails with no response

tried entering address manually in the form of http://homeassistant.local:8123 – fails

tried on a separate network – same behavior. I changed network cable – same behavior.

phone is on same network and subnet as the homeassistant.

Shall I just pack it up and send it back or is there a known issue?

Hook up a monitor to the HDMI port and post a picture.
