Description of Issue

When I am trying to test the Network Setup it says that it is not ready (Roon ARC will not be able to access your Roon core) and provides the following error message:
{
“ipv4_connectivity”: {“status”:“NetworkError”,“status_code”:504,“error”:“error: Error: ETIMEDOUT, response code: undefined, body: undefined connected? undefined”},
“external_ip”: {“actual_external_ip”:“74.aaa.bbb.ccc”,“actual_external_ipv6”:“null”,“router_external_ip”:“null”},
“natpmp_autoconfig”: {“status”:“NotFound”},
“upnp_autoconfig”: {“server_ip”:“192.168.50.1”,“found_upnp”:true,“error”:“doaction request return statuscode: UnknownError”}
}

I was able to resolve my issues. For anyone else with this issue this is what I did:

1. Logged into my Router web portal and logged in.
2. Went to the WAN tab and then the Port Forwarding tab
3. I enabled Port Forwarding within the options
4. Created a new description for my Roon using the IP Address and Port Address already in the Roon application (under Roon ARC tab).

Hope that helps others…
