Roon 2.0 not ready for prime time?

Great to hear, @crummwoody.

It looks like port forwarding didn’t automatically configure with your Orbi network; we’ll need to enable port forwarding for cellular data use of ARC.

The port forwarding error diagnostic you shared suggests that the router can see NAT-PMP enabled, but there’s an issue with the Core reaching the broader internet. Not to worry - this is a simple and (usually) easily resolvable issue, likely arising from some settings in the Orbi router.

A few things to check from here to enable port forwarding:

  1. Do you have a modem/router in your setup in addition to the Orbi router? Usually, the error you’ve reported is due to a second routing providing redundant network address translation (NAT), which prevents Roon from reading your routable IP address accurately.
  2. If you have only one router in your setup, please see this post: ARC Not Connecting (ORBI Mesh). I recommend you try enabling Bridge mode on the Orbi router web administration page.
  3. If you above steps don’t work, please let us know your internet service provider. We want to rule out that there is carrier-grade NAT at the level of the ISP blocking the port, as this might require you to contact them and request some settings changes to your account.

We have a list of solutions for known issues with routers, ISPs, and other difficulties encountered by ARC users in the support section here: https://community.roonlabs.com/t/routers-and-isps/203656

We’ll proceed from there and the team will be watching for your response.
