Ubiquity setup for Roon wifi streaming

So how did you ever figure out you needed a new router?

Hi @DanMtsn,

@DanMtsn

When trying to switch from one zone to another the Roon app on my iPhone X crashes. It simply disappears. I then have to restart the app and the switching works normally.

If it matters, the zone I am trying to switch to is a Chromecast.

What kind of device did you start playback on before the Chromecast zone? I just tried migrating zones from a Dragonfly Red, Pulse 2i, Chromecast Ultra and Toshiba Built-in Chromecast and I did not experience any crashing.

Have you managed to replace the old router or are you still using that one? I suggest replacing the router first, as these symptoms might also be due to your network.

As for specific router models, we cannot provide a specific brand/model, but as you have seen there are quite a few threads that discuss user’s experience with various router brands and models.

We have found that often ISP routers have poor multicast implementations, but that is obviously not noted in the marketing materials for the router. Mesh is a good choice if you have a large area you need to cover.

Once you replace the router, we can see what issues are resolved versus which ones still need further investigating.

Oh yeah, that’s right. Support suggested it might be the root of your problem. I guess they did contribute after all…
