Thanks. It gave me this identifier:
The unit is not capable of downloading RoonBridge. Now, it tries to correct that during the next boot, so can you please power down/power up the unit once more to see if there was some kinda glitch and it is capable of downloading it right now?
Furthermore I also see that NTP is blocked. Time sync is also necessary for downloading stuff. RoPieee has a fallback (by using time synchronization over HTTPS), but this could have caused it during the installation.
Thanks
Ok. I shut down the device through the web interface and power cycled it after the blinking light ceased. I connected it to a known good ethernet and powered on again. Dac still connected. It initialized in about 35 minutes and I still donāt see it in roon. Would you like me to submit another feedback?
Yes please.

Not sure whatās going on, but downloading RoonBridge fails again.
Iāve tried the download link from Roon HQ and that is operational.
Do you have a strict firewall or something like that?
Not to my knowledge. My network hardware and software are all fairly normal. I can do something weird and try to download it through my phone hotspot. How large is the download?
unless you have some way to hotspot your network/ethernet connection via your phone that seems like an awkward thing to get working.
maybe at a friends house with different ISP?
The download from Roon HQ is fairly small.
Are you familiar with SSH?
A little bit. Iāve used it to access a pi zero to configure/setup a pihole ad blocker. I already put the ssh file in the root of the sd card install like I had to with the pi zero, (if thatās still how it works?).
No thatās not how it works. Itās not downloading alone.
Are you sure that your Pihole does not block the download?
Oh, I forgot to add Iām not currently using the pihole. XD
Can you login with SSH (username: root, password: ropieee) and run the following:
wget -t 2 -T 30 -O /tmp/roonbridge.sh http://download.roonlabs.com/builds/roonbridge-installer-linuxarmv7hf.sh
(this is one line)
And can you paste me the result of this command over here?
Thanks
Last night, I let the device initialize through the wifi connection hotspot of my phone but that did not seem to work. Today I powered it on with wired ethernet to begin the ssh instructions you provided, and itās working and visible in roon!
I submitted another feedback just in case it can shed light on the funny behavior: a14ae8adba8281b7
Iāll start using it and let you know if anything comes up. Thank you!
Is there anything you would like me to try with it?
Edit: update. I played some music. Works great! Then I switched from wired to wireless and it seems to give up during initialization (solid red led, no blinking). Switched back to wired, and it sill āgives upā a few minutes into initialization. My router (Netgear R6220) will see the wired ropieee (strangely as two separate devices, with two different ip addresses) during the initialization, but I can no longer access the webpage. 
Iām going to swap the SD card and try a reinstall.
Reinstalled. Back where I started. Iāll see if I can get the SSH running.
Ok I got SSH running. Hereās the result of that command:

Hi Ted. I setup a 2nd Ropieee today. My first has been rock solid but this one worked then disappeared.
Go into Settings / Aboutā¦ do you see your endpoint there? I noticed mine was there but not a valid endpoint and it turned out that the Ropieee wasnāt seeing the USB DAC. Turning the DAC on and off fixed it. May or may not be your issue but if it doesnāt see a valid audio output device, it wonāt show up as an endpoint but does show up under settings/about.
Looks like your DNS setup is borked. If your Ropieee network tab specifies DHCP for wired (I donāt use wireless so I donāt know what happens in that case), Ropieee should be getting its DNS server info from your router. If I ssh into my Ropieee system, hereās what I see:
[root@Pi2AES ~]# nslookup
> download.roonlabs.com
Server: 192.168.2.1
Address: 192.168.2.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
download.roonlabs.com canonical name = download.roonlabs.net.
download.roonlabs.net canonical name = community.roonlabs.net.
Name: community.roonlabs.net
Address: 45.55.80.97You told us that you have a Pihole which is now inactive. I suspect your router may give out this Piholeās local network address as DNS and, as it is inactive, names can not be resolved.
What do you see when invoking dig download.roonlabs.com ?
Iām an old-timer in Unix/Linux land, so I used nslookup. Hereās dig output
