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.

Other than the wait, it sounds like a good outcome.  Glad it worked out.  I knew if the right people were contacted it would.
I hooked up my clock last night with the 50 ohm cable.  It does seem to sound better, but nothing night and day.  It seems like there's a little more "PRAT" and an even larger soundstage, but it might be my imagination.  It sounded so good already before the clock.  I didn't try to do any A/B testing and will listen with the 50 ohm cable for a while before trying the 75 ohm cable to see if that makes any difference.
Thanks for the help.

The teac nt505 is a legit dac ... I too am interested in clock results.
I'll let you guys know.  I plan to just listen for a couple of days or so before changing cables or disconnecting the clock.  The one thing I didn't mention is that I also noticed a few details in songs I'm very familiar with.  I made a little playlist of songs I know very well and listened to those last night.  I thought it sounded great, but not in any dramatic way.  The difference was subtle enough that it could have just been confirmation bias or that I was listening more intently than normal.  That's why I like to give things a few days.
