I moved home assistant to a wireless access point because I live at home and my parents are getting a bit annoyed with me having raspberry pi and an old computer that I use as a server in the living room, so i got a wireless access point from the kitchen in to my room, so I could just have it in here, but now home assistant obviously got a new ip so it doesn't work on my cloudflare url yet, but it's acting kinda strange, I can't access it on my computer, and when I type in the ip i got from the local ip address it integration i can't connect through that, and cloud flares says it's not a valid ipv4 ip address, so idk how to get it back on my url

Check your wireless config for anything that would block interclient communications. It's common on wifi hardware to disallow wireless devices to talk to other devices on the lan. Different brands of kit call it different things. "Wifi isolation" is the most common.

Also, "you got a wireless access point". What does that mean? Got it from where? Did you configure it yourself? Is it acting as a DHCP server? If yes, is it behind another DHCP server? Cause that'll cause you issues like this as well.

Good point, didn't even think about that.
