Does anyone know if the microRendu can be connected directly to the ROCK server ethernet without going through a proper ethernet hub? I would like to connect it directly to my NUC7i5-based ROCK. The ROCK would use the WiFi to connect to Tidal and would see the microRendu as an endpoint directly att…

[image] Sergey_Ivanov: Does this mean that there are no drivers for this card in ROCK or something else? No, it means you unplugged the cable from the port where your setup was working; try plugging it back into the original port.

That’s right! But I need that TP-Link PCI network adapter TF3239DL work in ROCK and I can use it for connection to my streamer (Vistamultimedia as shown on screenshot of settings). While this TP-Link does not work with the cable from the router to connect ROCK to the Internet, or with the cable fro…

Try disabling one of the two Ethernet Ports on the Gigabyte board and see if the TP-Link shows up. That will tell you if ROCK OS has the drivers to see/enable the TP-Link card. It might be that ROCK only allows for 2 ethernet ports or that ROCK does not have the drivers in the OS for that card. T…

OK. I’l try. I like ROCK. It is a pity that ROCK supports only NUC - one SATA for drive, onboard LAN controllers, impossibility to add an internal sata disk without formating. I would like such OS but for any computer .

What you want to accomplish should be done by installing and configuring Linux yourself, followed by the installation of the Linux package of Roon Server.

Yes, the fact of the matter is that ROCK is attractive because it does not require knowledge of Linux from the user! Thanks for support.

Roon works because of its intimate relationship with the NUC hardware. Broaden it out to work with more boards and it would be bigger, more complex to install and to use and it would behave much less like the appliance most of us want.

[image] Sergey_Ivanov: Does this mean that there are no drivers for this card in ROCK or something else? I’m sure ROCK includes the necessary drivers, as they’re typically part of the Linux kernel, and TP-Link adapters are quite popular. But as ROCK doesn’t expect your TP-Link adapter to be …

@Sergey_Ivanov : what does your tplink present itself as? an ethernet card? if so, it probably is missing the driver. @Adam_Woodbridge : we do support multiple interfaces, but we don’t ship all the drivers nor do we ship all the firmwares.

Can the microRendu be directly connected to the ROCK server through the Ethernet cable?
