Proxmox receives an IP address via DHCP during installation and makes it static. It disables DHCP after installation, so you won't be able to move your Proxmox host to a new network / routing environment in a "plug 'n play" manner.
Do not use WiFi, use ethernet.
Use the Proxmox host's console and log in as root, then

- adjust the values
addressandgatewayin sectioniface vmbr0to your new environment (you need to pick a free address from your new network) - use the picked address and update file
/etc/hosts - find the IP address of your DNS service (in most homelab environments, it's identical to the gateway IP) and update the
nameserverline in/etc/resolv.conf - restart the host or restart networking using
systemctl restart networking
1. Attach the server by lan cable to the router you wish to use.
2. Install Proxmox from the USB you have created with the ISO file you downloaded.
3. In the install choose the correct NIC that is connected to the router.
4. In the install choose an IP address that is not within the routers DHCP-assigning range (check your router).
5. Make sure you add the correct netmask for your NW. (e.g..
6. Choose the correct gateway of the router.
7. Choose the correct DNS server (usually on a simple setup/NW will be the same as the gateway - above 6.).
8. After the install & the server has rebooted it will show you from which address the GUI can be accessed.
To access that address you must be using another device within the same NW subnet.

its seem like when u said on the dhcp adress range so i go into my new router web interface and i dont see allocated dhcp
this here i alread set the same as my proxserver
and
as u can see there no 08:2e:5f:30:e6:aa on here and yes i use ethernet and plug in lan 2 it doesnt show in here
here my proxmox server
but it is connected which shown here
so confuse in here can someone help me guide
oke here are the ig dhcp stuff and btw i did change the what u said
i alr saved it and it still doesnt work can u help me
i still cannot access into web ui
its seem like i only access the router pve gui web via my personal computer which connect to ethernet cable so does that mean i cannot access with wifi? even tho same IP here i try on my laptop
this is my pc which is connected using ethernet cable
down here
this is my pc which is connected using ethernet cable
down here
As I said above you can access the GUI from any device within the same NW subnet. What is the local IP address of that Laptop that can't connect?
Could it be that you have WiFi Access Point (AP) isolation enabled on your router? That would explain why pve is accessible on LAN but not WLAN even on same subnet...
Also (but unrelated to the current issue), given that Proxmox is claiming a static IP of 192.168.1.9, it would probably be a good idea to increase "DHCP Start IP Address" to 192.168.1.10 (instead of 192.168.1.2) in your router's DHCP server config to avoid potential future address conflicts.

It would be important to check any AP isolation setting on your router - but without knowing your router model it's hard to provide further guidance on this.
given that your PVE config now grabs a static address, this DHCP binding doesn't actually matter and could be deleted
According to a google search, this router seems to be problematic in terms of isolation... See here and here for possible locations of relevant settings in the router configuration, but as the google search suggests, they may not actually solve your issue.
Perhaps also relevant to ask - do you have any other devices on your network that can currently access each other as they are supposed to, e.g. a network-connected printer, network-attached storage, or file sharing between your desktop and laptop?
If this is an inherent router limitation, your only solution would be to put the router in bridge mode and add your own (fully-configurable) router downstream.
