Description of Issue
RoonARC will not connect for me. I have placed my ISP router in bridge mode, set up Port Forwarding rules on my personal router (UDMP), I have disabled the firewall settings on W10 machine hosting Roon core, all to no luck. Error message I’m receiving is below. Please help!
It looks like your ISP router is still doing NAT, even though you put it in bridge mode. Some ISPs (like one of mine) will not remove NAT from their routers, allegedly for security reasons, but really to conserve IPv4 address space.
Thanks for the article. In reading the directions, my settings do not show UPnP as an option to enable. I dug a little deeper and found a setting that said disabled and also said “UPnP can only be enabled on one Internet interface at a time”. IDK what else could be using the UPnP. I also do not have a setting for NAT in the UDMP either. Are my settings missing someting?
AFAIK, if your ISP router is doing NAT, there’s nothing you can do on UDM to preclude double NAT. The only way I could solve this with one of my ISPs (a coop fiber provider) was to file a ticket with them to create a manual port forward for ARC, with my UDM as destination, and then a separate manual port forward on the UDM with my Roon Core as destination.
But maybe your ISP allows NAT to be removed from their router. Worth asking…
Even if you are unable to put your modem into bridge mode (I was able to with my BGW210-700) then you should be able to forward ports on both devices (ISP modem and your router) to get around this.
