Unable to Connect via URL in Web Client on a LilyGo T3V1.6

[1337Reaper]

I am attempting to connect to my LilyGo T3V1.6 via the web client over wifi, but I am running into some issues:

• Client connects via serial no problem
• Connected via wifi, being served an IP address, is reachable by ping, though high time stats (6-87ms, sometimes timing out), NTP is working properly
• attempting to connect via https using meshtastic.local or by IP address fails
• attempted to self-host the web client and access via http and it also fails
• when attempting to access via Brave using https I get the error: The connection was reset OR ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
• when connecting directly via http I am told that the webserver is running but "The content you are looking for can't be found. Please see: FAQ"
• BT is disabled, wifi is enabled
• When accessing via https, no cert is offered for acceptance
• attempting to connect via web client using http or https addresses meshtastic.local or IP fails

I'm using the latest alpha firmware and this is a fresh install with memory wiped. Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide.
