Beginners • SSH on 64-bit version not working on RPi 4B 4GB

Dear folks,

I just used the Imager 1.9.6 to put the latest 64-bit version on an 16GB SD card to put into my RPi 4b 4GB. I've set
- a username (pi) and password (something).
- the wifi SSID and password
- On the next tab I've enabled SSH

Then I put the micro SD in my RPi 4b 4GB and gave it power with the original RPi power adapter.

The RPi
- didn't pop up in the modem
- wasn't reachable via ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
- didn't pop up in advanced port scanner

I repeated the above with the latest 64-bit LITE version. Unfortunately I got the same result.

Then I decided to repeat the above, but then select the 32-bit version. Now everything works. WTF is going on? How can I see if my RPi is 64-bit?
