Roon Core Machine
I have had very few problems over a two-year plus stretch since I first purchased the NucleusPlus directly from Roon. Three days ago, I turned on my audio system (note: the NucleusPlus core is always left on), and it came back saying it cannot find the Roon Core.
I have been troubleshooting for the last three days in order to avoid wasting anyone’s time here at community support, but I am at wits end. I have tried everything I can think of, but let me first describe the issue and setup.
I am trying to stay calm about this, but I have spent a lot of time looking through all the problem reports from others and it doesn’t seem like this is a simple software issue (I’m a novice, so I may very well be wrong). It feels like to me like it may be firmware or hardware related. Which is a huge bummer, since I think I’m out of warranty and I am retired. This was going to be my forever system, and I was extremely happy with roon up to now.
I am reaching out to you folks and hoping that maybe you can help. Anything is greatly appreciated. P.S….if it does turn out to be a hardware issue, is there a place I can send the unit for repair?

Description of Issue
Describe the Issue
• The NucleusPlus is not recognized by my network. The power light switch is on, the ethernet cable shows yellow and flashing green, but it no longer appears on my network. I used to see it from other ethernet wired PCs, the router software, (and of course, the roon remote phones and tablets). This is a permanent situation right now.
• I even tried to access the unit via HDMI, but there is only a blank screen
• I have swapped out cables, router connections, switch connections, turned everything on and off a hundred times, rebooted everything a hundred times, etc. Nothing works. Still no evidence of a NucleusPlus core machine on the network.
