Having the same issue. Different hardware. On 10.15. No error message other than it can't connect in dev tools.

These steps resolved the issue for me on Catalina 10.15.7

1. Close Chia Client
2. Upgrade to Chia Version 1.1
3. Delete the "wallet" folder in .chia/mainnet/
4. Delete the "peer_table_node.sqlite" in .chia/mainnet/db (Do not delete the mainnet one. It will take a long time to sync if you have to start from zero again)
5. Reopen Chia Client

I turned off UPnP but I don't think this makes a difference.
Hope that helps.

I have tried your method but unfortunately it didn't help. I can't find "peer_table_node.sqlite" in .chia/mainnet/db.

@egorgolo Hmm the only thing I could think of as a quickfix is to backup the mainnet database file, then delete the entire .chia folder and then reopen the client. But as I said, it could take a very long time to create a new mainnet database file. So you could try to use the backup instead. However, I am not a maintainer of this project, so I don`t know what causes these issues in the first place and if this is the right solution.

@kilianso i've tried that too, but the problem didn't disappear unfortunately. Anyways, thanks for advice

Update:

I think I found the problem. Before launching chia in my home network through this computer, I opened it first at my newer MAC. The app probably assigned port 8444 to the computer where I at first opened the app. Anyways, check if your port 8444 is open. If it's closed, you need to open it and the app should start working. It won't work if port 8444 is closed.

*Note one port can only be assigned to one IP. (That's why I wasn't able to open port 8444 through terminal on the Mac that I wanted to use for mining) Please correct if I'm wrong.
