Hi @Steve_Williams ,
Steve_Williams:
Because the eero only has two Ethernet ports and one has to be used for internet, I only have one port for both the BlueSound and Nucleus. Eero support site says that a spitter can be used to connect multiple devices, but when I used a Y cable to plug in both the Blue Sound and the Nucleus it crashed my Blue Sound which I am working to resolve. Using the splitter I still get a ,message that the Nucleus cannot be found but not seatings or other options.
Please don’t use a Y splitter for your Nucleus + Bluesound, unmanaged switches are very cheap nowadays and a much better way to connect multiple Ethernet outputs.
I’ve read with interest the threads on people having reliability issues with their roon setups. It seems to me that a common theme is the Ethernet equipment in use and in particular the advice to often avoid the use use of managed Ethernet switches.
With that in mind wondering if people could list the Ethernet switches that they ARE using as a way of compiling some details of known stable and reliable gea network gear.
