Fellow user with some questions

  1. Is the Mac book on the same subnet as the NAS? 192.168.0.XXX?
  2. IPv6 turned off?
  3. Also, it looks like you are bonding eth 0 and 1?

Hi @Rugby . Please see answers below:

  1. Yes, Macbook is on the same subnet as NAS (192.168.0.x)
  2. IPv6 is on:

  1. Yes, not sure it makes a difference but it’s been set like for several years without any issues. Overall IPv4 is still 192.168.0.25.

Changed IP from ‘Static’ to ‘DHCP’ just to verify NAS is getting router-specified IP:

Try turning IPv6 Off and see if that makes a difference. after rebooting.

Turned off IPv6 and rebooted the NAS. Roon app still unable to find the Core (also tried Help → → Scan).

I literally haven’t changed anything in my setup, so I’m at a loss as to why I can’t connect to Roon. Short of some recent update to Roon or DSM, I have no idea. Should I just uninstall it and wipe the external SSD and start over?

Note: Uninstalling the package, deleting the RoonServer folder, and reinstalling fixed it. I did not restore a backup, however, as I wasn’t sure if that would re-break something. Sorry - likely should have waited for a response from support, but got a little impatient.

I would wait until support arrives. They can look at your Cores logs which might give them some insight.
