Tablet cannot find roon core

[Wanderer46]

My roon core is on my windows 10 pc, connected to my modem/router via ethernet. My tablet is trying to connect to a wireless network from my built in router but it just keeps searching. I have no other remotes except the one on the core. Tablet is galaxy tab s6. Modem/router is Arris XB6.

Tried restarting my core and my network.

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Did you already follow the advice given in: Why can’t Roon Remote Connect?

Wow diasbling my windows firewall worked! Thanks so much. How do I do an exception now to allow roon remote through it ?

You can use the instructions below:

@noris

Since you are using a Windows PC, I would verify that both Roon.exe and RAATServer.exe have been added as exceptions to your Windows firewall.

You can use these instructions to add the exceptions and the executables themselves would be located in your Database Location/Application folder path.

I would also add these exceptions to any Antivirus or other Firewall blocking applications you may have and make sure that you’re using a Private network type, not a Public one, you can use these instructions to check this.

Thanks so much man! You are the best.

windows I think tries to default to firewall on which is a double edge sword for many using client/server based apps like roon. But windows is so full of security holes I can see why. Macs OTOH tend to default to off.
