Hi @tayloe ,

Welcome to the forum! Can you please try to perform a reboot of your networking gear, Meridian and Roon Server, and let us know if this helps?

Rebooting everything did not help. However, giving the ID41 card a static address made it visible to Roon.

Hi @tayloe ,

Glad to hear that the static IP helped! Just to confirm, everything is working correctly now?

Yes, with static IP, the ID41 is visible to Roon and playing music. (Not sure what changed to make it invisible, but I read that ID41 can struggle with DHCP when traversing switches.)
