Is Roon Server running?

· Yes, Roon Server is turned on and running.

What do you see on your screen?

· "Waiting for your Roon Server"

What happens if you press the "Select a different Roon Server" button?

· I don't see Roon Server.

Please try to restart your network setup by unplugging, waiting 30 seconds and then replugging in your networking gear.

· No, the issue remains the same

Please select how you've connected your Roon Server to the internet

· Roon Server is connected by *Ethernet*

Have you checked your firewall settings to ensure that Roon is allowed through?

· Roon still won't connect even after checking this aspect

Have you verified that Roon Server is on the same subnet as your Remotes?

· My Remotes and Server are on the same subnet and I still can't connect

Sometimes the issues can be resolved with a reinstall of your Roon Remote app. Let's try to perform a reinstall and see if it helps.

· I've reinstalled the Roon Remote but it did not help

What is the operating system of your Roon Server host machine?

Select any of the following components that are present in your local network setup

You mentioned a VPN. Have you tried disabling it?

Describe the issue

ROON remote works well on 2 win10 PC, well on my iphone15, but since I updated to IOS 26 on my iPad 12.9 in, I can no more use that iPad because it does not find the roonserver even if I can easily find it on a browser on the iPad.
I use Tailscale for ARC. IT's OK.
I have Tailscale on my phone as required.
When the iPad remote search for the server with the real IP, not recognized, but it seems to search for another address, liquely.
What can I try now ?

Describe your network setup

BEll Hub 4000, switch, rjr45 input into Devialet

Good day @Jacques_Legrand !

Since your Roon Remote works fine on other devices and the issue started right after the iPadOS 26 update it’s likely related to iPad network permissions or discovery settings rather than your Roon Core or Tailscale setup. Here’s what you can try :

  1. Check Local Network Access :

• Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network.

• Make sure Roon is enabled there. iPadOS sometimes disables this after major updates.

  1. Reset Roon’s network permissions:

• Delete the Roon Remote app.

• Reboot the iPad.

• Reinstall the app from the App Store (this forces iOS to reprompt for network permissions)

  1. Manual connection test:

In the Roon app, go to the connection screen → tap Help → enter IP from the server manually.

Let us know please whether it has worked for you.

Thanks!

Regards.
