[Neil_Leichman]

ROON CORE on Intel NUC
Roon works fine
NUC/ROCK is address 10.0.0.3
Roon ARC works OK if on network LAN MusicNET
but NOT if outside of network LAN MusicNet
Am I using the proper PORTS? (see below)

This worked for me for R7000 and my ISP. Your ISP may be different. Check roon arc settings page to get ip/port number to use.

ARC Network Fail - Netgear Nighthawk Router/Spectrum Wifi

Have the same setup (Spectrum/Nighthawk). This works for me. No bridge or whatever needed. Should work for pretty much any Netgear router. First, set up port forwarding like this. (Use the add custom button.) [Screenshot_20220922-170709_Chrome] Internal IP address should be the same as your core/server machine. Second, not sure this is needed, but I reserved the IP address of the local core/server machine so it doesn’t get changed by dhcp: [Screenshot_20220922-165057_Chrome] In both case…

Hey @Neil_Leichman,

You have my sincerest apologies for the delayed response here, we’ve been dealing with a higher-than-usual volume following our release and we’re working as quickly as we can to get back to everyone.

I wanted to check in on this thread to see if you’re still running into issues getting Arc setup on your system? If so, please share the error code you’re seeing under your arc settings. Thanks!
