Raspberry Pi Startup Order?

Still new to this and so consequently trying new cables and antenna … The problem I have is that it seems to upset the viewing on port :8080 …

Then when I try to restart everything it often fails. The logging shows no data being sent and port:8080 URL will not load in my browser.

I have yet to find the ‘correct’ way to start up the system:

Everything connected then power?

Power to the Pi then insert USB Dongle?

Pi + Dongle on and then antenna?

Am I missing a trick here?

Kind Regards

Hugh

Definitely everything connected and then power.

changed the to then

Many thanks for that reassurance!
