· None of the above quite fits
· None of these quite match
· Roon isn't working with new wifi network. Chromecast doesn't work and Android devices won't connect to Roon server
· Verizon G3100 Router. Laptop and WiiM Ultra connected via ethernet. Android phone, tablet, JBL Portable Link, WiiM Sound connected to wifi
Today I disconnected my Spectrum coax internet and installed Verizon fiber optic. New modem, router, wifi name, etc. No problems discovered thus far other than Roon.
Setup: Laptop connected by ethernet to router; Android phone and tablet connected via wifi. Endpoints: WiiM Ultra, WiiM Sound, JBL Portable Link. Until today these all worked without any issues.
Three problems: Roon cannot enable my JBL Chromecast endpoint; Roon cannot cast to already enabled WiiM Chromecast endpoints; My Android phone and tablet will no longer connect to Roon server.
My two WiiM endpoints work fine using RAAT. However, Roon has stopped working with my JBL Portable Link and those WiiM devices through Chromecast. The WiiM devices show as “Enabled” for Chromecast but I get the error message “Audio device refused to switch input to Roon” when I try to use them. My JBL shows as a device in “Settings > Audio” but clicking on “Enable” doesn’t work. The JBL makes a connection noise but Roon will not enable it.
The Qobuz app works fine connecting to those devices from my phone through Chromecast. That together with WiiM devices working through RAAT, show everything is properly connected through the same network.
On top of all that, now my Android phone and Android tablet will not connect to the Roon server. My laptop is connected to the router via ethernet and Roon Remote works fine that way. Again, those Android devices work fine with Chromecast using other apps.
I’m at a loss where to begin to fix this. Help!
Hey @Kman_CT ,
Based on your description, this sounds like a multicast issue. Could you please check the IGMP Proxying and IGMP Snooping settings on your new Verizon router? Also, are you using both WiFi and Ethernet on your laptop at the same time? If so, please disable WiFi and reboot Roon Server to see whether the behavior changes. Let us know what you find.
Thanks for your help. I think I resolved the issue. There were probably multiple factors and I had my primary focus on a printer that wouldn’t connect to the new router. After changing various settings I got the printer working, which also seems to have solved the Roon/Chromecast issue. I’m not sure exactly which change fixed that.
My laptop running Roon Core and my WiiM Ultra were connected by ethernet. Wifi was set to off on the laptop. My WiiM Sound and JBL Link Portable were connected through wifi.
It does seem odd to me that both WiiM devices worked fine running RAAT, Chromecast worked fine with Qobuz and Spotify, but Roon couldn’t enable Chromecast devices that were identified in audio settings.
I’m at my other home right now on a different network so I can’t fool around and run tests. I also don’t want to mess around with what seems to be working now.
Again, thanks.
