Pairing streamer

If your streamer is not connected to your internal network, nothing will work. Check your router connected devices to see if it’s on the LAN. I don’t know what the device will be called on the device list on the router but you should know what ip address your streamer is.

If you have another computer, ping the ip address of the streamer. You should get bytes of data received at what speed if it is on the lan, or it will say ip address not found, then you know it’s not connected

@buellrider97 - if you need a new lan setup, remember that your isp provider or the geek squad don’t know how to do internal lans, get a new mesh network.

Ok, people don’t know how networks work. Frequencies, 2.4 or 5 ghz has no bearing on connectivity to a node. The number of routers you have doesn’t have any bearing on connectivity. I have 4 mesh network routers that use both wired and their 6e proprietary backhaul with no connection issues. I also have 5 switches connected to these mesh routers and in the wiring closet with no issues. If you don’t know networks, you shouldn’t offer advice, it’s going to confuse the OP.

I mentioned in another thread on this that you have to setup the streamer with the correct network settings, which includes static ip or dhcp, and subnet mask. Can you ping the streamer? Can you look at the router device list to see if the streamer is attached to your LAN? Concentrate on getting the streamer connected hardwired to your network. Then go from a wired pc to your network and ping the streamer. If that doesn’t work, your streamer isn’t configured correctly. If the wired method works, then concentrate on your wireless connections. Your router will tell you if both your tablet and streamer are connected. This isn’t that tough to do. 
 

Im assuming you are using Roon and if so, didn’t you have Roon ARC turned on? If you didn’t you should. You can get rid of Sirius/XM in your cars but you will have to make changes to your router to use port forwarding.

buellrider97 - your network has to have 1 main router that connects to your isp modem that sets up your wifi ssid (you only need 1), port forwarding, and other parameters and then your 2nd and more routers are setup as a wired or wireless bridge network. This is if you use a non-mesh network. In my older homes, I used to use up to 4 Linksys routers setup this way. When you do it correctly, each router is invisible to you or your device. You never connect to a specific router, you connect wireless to the ssid that all routers can respond to. Even when you are wired, the router routes your packets to the appropriate router or isp network depending on what you want to do. 
 

For mesh networks, (only get a WiFi 6e or newer mesh setup), they provide software that sets up the main/first router, then adds the additional mesh routers, which is basically a bridged network but uses the proprietary backhaul connection for the mesh routers to talk to each other. In a mesh setup, you still configure 1 ssid (if you have 2, get rid of 1), and all the other mesh routers implement dhcp based on the main router. 
 

This is a basic setup that will work fine for everything you want to do, but there are other options like setting up DMZ’s/vlans, etc. 

If your router is using a wireless connection, then you better be using a wifi 6e or newer mesh router so you can use the 2.5Gbps backhaul instead of the normal router wireless speed which can be anywhere from dismal to just ok

I’ve been using ripped music since 2005. Remember amarra, pure music, audirvana from the mid 2000’s. I sold my $3000 Classe cdp in 2007/2008 and never used a cdp since. I do have a sacd player that’s 20 years old and it doesn’t get used much for 15 years, maybe 5 or 6 times.

Ripped and streaming is where it’s at
