Roon Core Machine Networking Gear & Setup Details My internet service provider (Bell Canada) doesn’t support bridge mode. Evidently this is a considered decision on their part as it can reconfigure the modem. Is there an alternative which would enable me to use Roon ARC? Thanks Connected Audio…

Hi Connor, Yes it works but I also had to add a port forwarding to make it work ! I really think the way it connect should be easier nor transparent for users like for today’s other kind of integrations. Not all users are tech savvy and has the proper knowledge of complexe configuration.

@NiHo , it’d be really helpful if you describe your Roon setup, including network details, i.e., modem, router etc., and what you have tried so far, and what message is shown in Settings > Roon ARC. Thanks.

So they support their modem/router. Drop the question how to enable portforwarding to a single host (your Roon-core) But I think you are able to do it yourself using this handson… [How to Open Ports in a Bell Home Hub 1000 Router] [image] How to Open Ports in a Bell Home Hub 1000 Router …

Bridge mode isn’t really a thing for ISPs to support… technically no different from when back in the day we would plug in a single access point (non-gateway) to our home internet connections. Bridge-mode is a setting on your “smarter” WIFI systems like Eero where you’re telling it to not bother doi…

Thanks for all of the above responses. My set-up is a Bell Home Hub 3000 which links to the internet. The wifi is handled by Netgear Orbis, of which the base unit is connected to the Home Hub by ethernet. When I spoke with technical support at Bell I was informed that they have eliminated access t…

Well, you could try and put the Orbi in bridge mode so that it functions more like an Access Point. Unless, the Orbi is doing something you need it to be a router.

Exactly the same error message here too ! I have my personal router “Asus RT-AX92U” plug into my internet provider router (Bell Hub 3000). I have no issus with any of my home integration, but with ROON… All my connected object are connected to my Asus router with no issue at all ! I would say I’m a …

The general “internet recommendation” is to configure your Bell 3000 to put the Asus into its DMZ list. This may require moving the PPPoE config into the Asus. There is some risk here but its similar to putting the device into bridge mode. The added risk is you never want anything but the Asus conn…

Hi @Andre_Lafreniere and @NiHo , I’ve merged your topic threads together as two Bell Canada customers dealing with what appears to be the same issue: their modem/router unit not offering Bridge mode. Please see my previous post (staff yellow).

I would like to add to prevent any mishaps if someone try’s this is, to turn off the wifi on the Bell Hub.

My Wifi is deactivated on the Bell hub since 3 years :slight_smile:
