Not ready - Roon ARC was unable to securely access your Roon Core: 2 routers

@Bill_Juvonen

I would assume PPnP could remain on with manual port forwarding, but…

Don’t assume. Yes, one might think so. In reality, not every router deals well with it and there have been numerous cases on the forum where this was the problem.

@Bill_Juvonen

I’ve added screenshots of my port forwarding to my original post

Thanks.

You normally need only TCP forwarded, not BOTH.
Shouldn’t “Source Net” have an entry? (I have no experience with DD-WRT)

I can’t see if UPnP is on.
Also check the Port Range Forwarding tab to ensure that there is no conflicting rule there

Check that the Roon ARC settings in the main Roon app show that it’s using the 55002 port.
Try clicking Reset in the Roon ARC settings in the main Roon app, sometimes it seems to help.

@Bill_Juvonen

I have 2 routers: Asus RT-AX88U behind a T-Link using DD-WRT.

I missed this originally. With 2 routers you probably need two daisy-chained forwarding rules. One on the T-Link forwarding the external IP:port to the Asus, and on the Asus to forward it on to the Core. And the 2 rules must not conflict somehow.

Try something like this:

ARC connection issues -intermittent

Hey @Victoria_Carlin, Thank you for the detailed follow up! Lets focus on the double-nat situation. I don’t see any mention of a modem in your network setup. Do you have a specific modem model you can share? Or, is the FIOS G3100 acting as a modem/router combo? Typically, with mesh setups, you have to create two port forwarding rules. One for the modem/router (G3100) to route to other router (Orbi), and another from the other router (Orbi) to the core. And to confirm, when you bypass the Orbi…

Cant Get ARC To Work with 4/5 g

Are you daisy-chaining port forwarding rules, one from the modem to the router and then another one from the router to the Core? You may / probably have to. I suggest you try this: The modem is the external interface that gets the ARC connection from the outside and it must be able to forward from its external IP & port to the internal network, this being represented by the router. This port forwarding rule on the modem should forward the port to the router. Set up a similar rule on the route…

A ConflictInMappingEntry error also occurred here, also with 2 routers, and was resolved by daisy-chaining the rules on the 2 routers:
