Can someone point me to details on setting up my network for Roon 2.0?
In my case I use a double-NAT (coax → modem → Unifi Gateway → Network) and Roon is not visible from the outside.
This is our guide:
My advice:
You need to port forward on your modem and Unifi gateway, or you can set your modem to be in bridge mode and then you only have 1 NAT on your unifi
if you can not configure your modem, you will need to talk to your ISP about making that happen. it is a common and reasonable request to have your modem in bridge mode, although the Verizon modems I’ve run into do have a bridge mode you can configure.
This is what I’m getting:
{
“connectivity”: {“status”:“NetworkError”,“status_code”:504,“error”:“error: Error: ETIMEDOUT, response code: undefined, body: undefined connected? undefined”},
“external_ip”: {“actual_external_ip”:“74.66.18.125”,“router_external_ip”:null},
“natpmp_autoconfig”: {“status”:“NotFound”},
“upnp_autoconfig”: {“status”:“NotFound”}
}
Looks pretty dire… 
Given the ‘actual_external_ip’ is obtainable, I presume it is in principle possible to make this work…
Tell us about your two routers/modems and what you did with them?
Coax cable from Spectrum → ARRIS TM1602A MTA → Unifi USG gateway → multiple Netgear unmanaged gig ethernet switches. NUC w ROCK is connected over ethernet and has fixed IP set up on the USG tied to its MAC address. Never had any issues with network.
My plan renders ~350 mbps down / ~22 mbps up.
I never configured the ARRIS, not sure if I could log onto it’s management page. The Unifi USG is a security gateway, nothing special in its config that I am aware of.
did you set up port forwarding on the USG?
Setting port forwarding on the USG worked, thank you.
I was a little puzzled that the ARRIS was not an impediment. However checking the USG logs I realized the ARRIS either never uses NAT (ie is always a bridge) or I disabled its NAT at some point.
Thx again.

Miguel, glad you are up and running. The ARRIS MTA is only a modem and telephone adapter, so a very basic network device that converts the cable signal to an Ethernet (or in this case also a phone signal for your home). The USG handles all the complex routing functions.
Right, thanks.
You know this thing with Roon away from the home, I didn’t think I would care for it, but after five minutes with it I am like “this is frigging amazing!”
