TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?

Hello mates,
I got my NT-505 3 days ago.
It seems to be working correctly but in my opinion all software in not the same level than the device: too aged & often no relevant documentation or support about.
However my big trouble is the NETWORK interface:  since first time I switched on, the NT-505 remains "for ever"  into NET configuring blinking state until it goes in power stand by.
Summarizing:

1. RJ45 cable is ok - tested in several manners
2. the wifi router (1Gb fiber connection) is ok
3. the wifi router ether ports (4) are ok - I checked a bridged LAN configuration too

Testing the NT-505 Ether port It results:

1. the physical level of protocol seems working correctly just on-way: the interface recognizes correctly the bandwidth (Fast ot Giga in my case) end the packet coming from the router are buffered. No packet sent  to the router.

2. At protocol level no ARP session are involved hence impossible retrieve MAC address and trying to do something.


VERY STUPID ISSUES:

1. Being NET board logically split from MAIN board It's need a separate firmware(!!!): how can I upload the NET firmware if, as stated into documentation, I must use the mobile app and It's impossible connecting the device to such LAN?

2. NO menu interface to configure manually the net parameters.

May someone help me (tricks..., recovery sw,..., low level maintance menu...,...) 

Thank you a lot.

I got my unit back today.  Wasn’t supposed to be here till Monday and I was supposed to have to sign for it.  Wife and I went to the grocery store.  When we got back, FedEx had put it down by my garage door.
Hooked it up and first try it locked on to the internet.  I was concerned because I had changed out the repeater to a better one that has more Ethernet ports and is supposed to be much faster.  
So far it is working great.  The tech left the songs he tested on the unit.  Can’t be a bad guy, likes Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, etc.  
Keeping my fingers crossed this will be a long term fix.
I forgot just how good this thing is.  Amazing sound.  Even the wife says it sounds better.

Further update:  Unit worked flawlessly over the weekend.  I did notice the tech had messed with the units app settings.  Couldn't make Spotify work, then discovered the settings had been changed.  Once changed, everything is perfect.  So far, so good.

Further update: working great.  I did have an issue connecting via Bluetooth.  Found I had to delete all devices from my iPhone and iPad, then re-connect.  Not sure why, but that’s what it took to make Bluetooth work.  The NET works great.  I also have the CG-10M clock and together this really sounds amazing.

Mine has been rock solid for a month now since I ran a cable to it and stopped trying to get out to work with a wireless repeater.

My wireless repeater works great with mine.  I use a Cat8 Ethernet cable and the repeater is a top of the line Netgear model, rated as one of the best.  No drop outs ever, even when I was updating my GPS maps and streaming music at the same time at HiRez.
