To ensure Roon functions correctly, several TCP and UDP ports need to be open in your firewall and router's port forwarding settings. These ports are necessary for communication between the Roon Core, remote devices, and the Roon ARC application.
Key Ports:
- TCP: 9330-9339, 30000-30010
- UDP: 9003, 32768-65535
- TCP: 55000 (for Roon ARC, can be customized)
Other Ports to Consider:
- TCP 9100-9200: These ports are often mentioned in connection with Roon Bridge and general Roon communication.
- UDP 43285 and 45029: Some users have reported needing these open, particularly when using certain network devices.
- TCP Port 9200: This port is mentioned as a destination port for Roon on the WAN.
- TCP Port 53: For DNS (Domain Name System) lookups, crucial for discovering and connecting to services.
- TCP Port 139 or 445: For SMB (Server Message Block) file sharing, which may be used by Roon.
Explanation:
- Roon Server: The core Roon software that manages your music library and playback.
- Roon Remote: The app used to control Roon on your devices.
- Roon ARC: The mobile app for remote access to your Roon library.
- UPnP/NAT-PMP: These are protocols that routers use to automatically configure port forwarding. If they are not working, you may need to manually configure port forwarding.
Troubleshooting:
- If you are having trouble connecting, ensure UPnP is enabled on your router or manually configure port forwarding with the correct IP address and port numbers, according to Roon's documentation.
- If using multiple routers, ensure port forwarding is configured on each router in the chain, according to community forums.
- If you are using a firewall (like firewalld or ufw), make sure to allow the necessary TCP and UDP traffic.
- For more complex setups, you may need to allow multicast and broadcast communication in your firewall.
