# Volumio in a browser

How to open your Volumio device from a web browser on a computer, tablet or phone, using its name or IP address.

Besides the Volumio app, you can use your device from any web browser, for example on a computer. You see the same interface as in the app, with the same settings.

The computer, tablet or phone must be on the same network as your device.

## Open your device with its name

1.  Open a web browser.
    
2.  In the address bar, type your device's name followed by `.local`. For example, if your device is called `Motivo`, type `http://motivo.local`.
    

Your device's name is the one you gave it during the first setup, and the one you see on its card in the app. You can also find it at the top of the device's `Settings`.

## Open your device with its IP address

If the name doesn't work, use the device's IP address instead.

1.  Find the IP address:
    
    -   In the app, open your device and go to `Settings` → `Network`: the IP is in the `Network status` card.
        
    -   If you can't open the device in the app, look for it in the list of connected devices on your modem or router.
        
2.  Type the IP address in the browser's address bar, for example `http://192.168.1.20`.
    

> **Tip:** If the browser can't open the device with its name or IP address, see [Connection issues](https://help.volumio.com/articles/197-connection-issues).
