For Roon to work as intended, all attached audio devices must be on the same network (subnet) as the Roon server. For example, if the server’s IP address is 192.168.0.101, then all other audio devices must have an address in the 192.168.0.0 subnet whether connected using Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
It would be really helpful if you confirmed the IP addresses of your server and the other two devices. Likewise, a brief description of the network components used would be useful.
Ideally, set up your Wi-Fi, so IP addresses are provided by the router’s DHCP server.
Ok - this made a ton of sense. My sonic orbiter was hard wired to a switch which was hard wired to Starlink. The TP Link Wireless Router was hard wired to Starlink via the same switch. I unplugged my sonic orbiter from the switch and hard wired it to the TP link wireless router and bingo! Thanks! This issue is closed out. Thank you for the networking 101 tutorial!
Oops, just as one problem is solved another has popped up. When the FiiO and Escape Air 6 are grouped, the music keeps pausing. Individually they work just fine…
