Cannot connect to Roon Core or ARC via iPad or iPhone. Nessage3 vis:
Waiting for your Roon server

Check if you need to add RoonAppliance.exe to the Windows firewall exceptions. This is apparently a new requirement since the last update and Roon has updated the firewall FAQ:

Hi @John_Tanner,

In addition to the above suggestion, if you haven’t already, try the following:

  • Make a Backup of your current RoonServer Database
  • Exit out of RoonServer
  • Navigate to your RoonServer’s Database Location
  • Find the folder that says “RoonServer”
  • Rename the “RoonServer” folder to “RoonServer_old”
  • Reinstall the RoonServer App from our Downloads Page to generate a new RoonServer folder
  • On the Roon Remotes, press “Use another Roon Server” and connect to the new database
