I’m using a Netgear NIGHTHAWK MESH WIFI 6 SYSTEM router. I have turned on UPnP in the router configuration settings. But Roon ARC still cannot connect with the outside world.
Thanks for the Open Port Check Tool, very useful. However, even though I have Port Forwarding set to my IP address, and Port 55000 is open, Roon still returns the following error:
I have one option left which you could try. In the Roon App under Settings → Roon ARC change the port number in ie. 44135. Adjust your port forwarding rule to this port number and see what happens. I read in another post that some ISP’s block certain port numbers.
Thanks for your help Maarten. I think this may have something to do with the fact that my NAS drive is connected to my Netgear Nighthawk Mess Router, and this router is connected to the Internet through a Verizon 5G Modem/Router. Although the Verizon unit is only there to bring the internet to the Netgear Router, it’s means Roon ARC has to navigate through the Verizon Modem, to the Netgear Router, and finally to my NAS running QNAP Roon server. Whew!
There should be a way to achieve all of this, but I admit it’s a potentially complex navigation. On the other hand I’m certain it’s achievable.
Hopefully, Roon Support will pick up this thread and assist me with this. Getting Roon ARC up and running will ease my mind about spending my limited budget on renewing my Roon license.
