Roon ARC port forwarding issue

Ah, I missed that. I was going by “My Networking hardware is the ASUS RT-AX82U WiFi 6” and overlooked the later mention of the ISP router. OK, the principles of what I wrote remain correct, though, but you need two rules, I think:

  1. Set up port forwarding on the ISP router. I guess you will need to do it manually.
    – The ISP router is the external interface and it must be able to forward from the external IP & port to the internal network, this being represented by the Asus
    – Make sure that the ISP router is in bridge mode (doesn’t try playing local router, and does not hand out IP addresses by DHCP)
    – The port forwarding rule on the ISP router should forward the port to the Asus router.
  2. Then set up similar rules on the Asus router, so that it forwards further from the incoming port to the machine where Roon runs.

I think! Someone correct me if I am wrong
