Roon requires all devices to be on the same IP range, so any devices used by Roon can’t be on a different subnet than the device running Roon Server. This includes remotes and endpoints. This means they must share a similar address

How can I tell if my devices are on the same IP range?

First, you need to determine the IP address of your devices.

An IP range will be something like 192.168.1.x, and ‘x’ changes for each device on the network. For example, your server machine might be 192.168.1.4. If this is the case, you’ll need your remotes and endpoints to also start with the same first 7 numbers in the IP scheme 192.168.1. If those first 3 sets of numbers are different, then they’re on a different subnet!

Does this resolve your issue?

All my devices run off the same home network running on one modem router combo.

Ok let’s give this a try…

Try deleting the Roon app on your phone once again then perform a hard reset on your iPhone.

If you still can’t see your server using your phone at this point restart your Roon server installation on your PC.

Any success?

And as a double check the app on your phone your currently using is Roon and not Roon ARC correct?

I finally resolved this problem apparently I was trying to use a network connection that my streamer would not accept. I ended up running an Ethernet cable from the streamer to the router and changed the settings to lan. Then I was able to get a WiFi connection through DLNA that satisfied my other devices. I played with this silly thing way too long before I figured it out.
