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.

The teac admin which shared his name today promised to have a resolution Monday.

Adams electronics was top notch in the discussion.

A properly shielded BNC cable should be more than adequate.

I'm an energy sector deep water civil engineer and a shielded 50ohm BNC is absolutely fine using RTK GPS (sub mm accuracy) where an accurate clock to the likes of which is unprecedented is a requirement to solve the distance/time/azimuth from the gps satellites in orbit. 

I'd imagine a 1m run is ok.

Agree on Adams Electronics.  They were first rate with me, and actually told me to call TEAC directly and tell them the service center said to call.  For some reason, once I did that, things moved quickly.  Here’s hoping your issues are resolved quickly.
i thought I had another issue with my unit last night.  It would not connect.  Ultimately determined the router and extender for the router needed to be re-set.  Once done, all was good.  In fact, for some reason, it actually sounded better than usual.

I'm going to stack the CG-10M and NT-505, so I only need about a foot.  I found an inexpensive 50 ohm cable from a place called Thorlabs.  I contacted a few cable manufacturers and they all said "no" when I asked if they had any 50 ohm offerings.

It'll be interesting to see if there's any difference between it and the 75 ohm cable I ordered from BJC.  Or if the CG-10M even makes any difference.

If I get this fixed I plan on doing the same.


Could you measure the total height between the 2?  I see the published dimensions, but I wonder if that includes the feet.
