Description of Issue

I get the same “Waiting for your roon server” and nothing happens. I have rebooted many times (server, computer, router).

I can access the server - see interface, put files unto its drive etc. but the ROON app won’t connect to it.

Looking cursorarily at this I noticed:

  • The server has only been up for 10 seconds. Is this because you have only just powered it on or is it continually restarting for some reason.
  • You have a static ip address configured - 192.168.50.153. is this within the subnet configured by your router? What is your routers ip address?
  • You have no gateway ip address set. This would typically be the ip address of your router.
  • You have no DNS server setup.

You only state that you use the ASUS router via cable - I take this to mean that there are no other routers/access points involved in the connection between the router and the Roon Server.

Lastly, do you have the firewall exceptions in place as described at:
