Bug : no Roon control from iPhone or iPad if using Personal Hotspot for Internet access

The point is in the title. Like for me in one house no Internet wifi, I have to use 5G and Personal Hotspot from iPhone to MB Air. And Roon works on the server but can’t be found by Remotes for remote control.

Thanks for addressing either missing feature or bug,
Best regards,

This isn’t a limitation of Roon, but one of the specific networking arrangements – a scenario Roon wasn’t intended for.

Quite simply, your mobile device, which you’ve set up as an Internet gateway, is not capable of routing local (hotspot) network traffic. Therefore, Roon server is unable to discover endpoints using the same wireless network.

Got it. Not a bug, but a feature… resulting from the way Personal Hotspots are designed.

Thanks for the clarification. The lounge is large but not to the point of getting me exhausted swapping music :wink:
