Bricasti M5 Network Bridge Not Detected

[noris]

Hi @Anton_Bokal,

Thanks for those additional data points.

So, I turned off the M5 and then restarted it and it was detected as network audio device! Just like the other day, it worked for a few hours and then quit.

This seems like a multicast issue to me, I would check the router software to see if you have the option to “Enable Multicast Routing” and/or IGMP Proxying/Snooping as these settings have helped in the past with similar behavior.

If Roon is playing through M5 and M5 drops

Can you expand a bit on when the M5 is dropping? Is it between tracks switching or in the middle of tracks playing? When the M5 drops, do you see any error messages being presented?

I ditched my top line routers a year ago because the ViaSat router performed at least as well. What do you recommend to satisfy Roon’s special requirements?

While we can’t recommend specific routers, we have generally seen Netgear/TP-Link/Asus routers have good performance with Roon. There is some more feedback from users in the following thread:

WiFi Router Recommendations?

My Router has been acting up lately. Looking to replace it. My Roon Core and NAS are both hardwired. But my control devices and Bluesound speakers are wireless. Any recommendations? Thanks!
