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.

Someone needs to officially explain what's going on for sure.

As far as the clock... On paper the science is legit... Whether or not there is a perceivable difference real world....

As long as science says it will work, and it measures well... that's all I care about.

I agree with that.

If, by some miracle teac manages to fix my nt505 I'll get the clock too.

I think they'll get you sorted out.

I think they eventually will, but it's been 2 months already and it's my understanding that there still is at least 2 months of transition before any of the parts/repairs are sorted out.

I asked admin@teac for a phone number as Citibank claims is looking for one...

No reply.

I can't even replace it with another nt505 from an authorized dealer presently... Not until the transfer is settled (according to the dealer I purchased from).

It's a shame really because I enjoy nt505.

4 months isn't acceptable (4 months of tidal and qobuz subs wasted too).
