Anyone know why my ssh would be timing out?

I've only ever been able to SSH into my device once since I've had it. Every other time, it times out. And I need to figure out how to install this UniFi console nonsense or throw $200 on this new nanoHD AP out the window.

j.j.w.@JJs-MacBook-Pro ~ % ssh -v pi@192.168.150.1

OpenSSH_8.6p1, LibreSSL 3.3.6

  1. Did you check Settings > Advanced > Configurations > SSH Console to see if that network has SSH enabled?
  2. Confirm that you are SSH'ing to the right IP

     ssh pi@fire.walla

  should work

  Also the password changes. I created a key pair so I wouldn’t have to keep going in to look at the new password each time.

  I look at this as a good thing. Leaving the same password in place permanently wouldn't feel secure to me. Forcing it to randomly change at reasonable intervals means that if I enter it in a tool of some kind (like an iOS SSH tool) and forget about it, it expires. It is one of the many things that make me think Firewalla thinks really hard about keeping the entire system secure.
