Yes and I have had a lot of different routers over the years.
My server is a sonicTransporter i7. Roon reports that it has configured my router for ARC.
Will do, thanks.
Sorry, HUGE difference.
Port blocking, service restrictions, throughput throttling, guest mode, etc. Whether restaurant/public Wi-Fi or (sorry) “AT a restaurant ON wifi” I wouldn’t expect reliable results.
True, depends on the restaurant. I was thinking a restaurant where one knows that wifi is not overly restricted. It’s how I tested my ARC first from external LANs, at the little restaurant at the corner where I could ask. Work LANs are probably even more restricted. But it it’s true, unknown and possibly locked down restaurant wifis are not the best test environment
It’s a good point, we probably should not hijack all these threads with this kind of comment - which I think I have been guilty of myself a few times. Keep to the topic at hand so that others coming back can get the info they’re looking for.
Other than screen Realestate what’s the issue? I would rather they fix the constant crashes and stopping of play (recovery) before they work on a bigger interface.
Different OS on each, no carplay support on iPad, pencil support on iPad…
Each impacts dev and support.
My experience with ARC in iphone 13 is good and no problem I left my DSD external library connected and I acces to it like at home
Only thinh I miss is acces to radio in ARC
Why?
Same happens at home where Roon is operating perfectly on iMac, MacBook Pro and iPad. On iPhone, Arc disconnects, screen goes black, re-connects, plays for a few seconds and disconnects again and re-booting the iPhone re-starts the cycle
ARC working fairly well over iPhone from our camper. We received a BIG bump in performance since adding a Starlink mini satellite panel. Looking forward to an ARC version that works on the iPAD that we like to use for managing music on the road. Thank you ROON staff for keeping this product moving forward. Cheers …
3 or 4 months ago I must say I’d have agreed with you… more recently I started using Tailscale and also, maybe some of the recent updates assisted but my recent experience is very good.
Most of my arc listening is in the car via CarPlay or iPhone/Mojo2.
Car Play constraints on list size, UI/UX, etc are annoying but manageable
I only seem to get playback issues when my phones signal drops to 3G

Today I’ve had my best experience ever with ARC. I use it only for offline listening including in my cars via Bluetooth, After having had to delete the app and losing downloaded albums yesterday for the second time I am now downloading again for the first time in months to replace them and everything is going smoothly and quickly

That’s because of your 1 million track library. It’s a phone, not Amazon EC2.

The initial sync should always be done on the LAN, and Tailscale or port forwarding is completely unrelated to the LAN. The issue is the library size, see above post
It’s a shame, actually, because it was precisely because of the size of my collection that I bought Roon…
