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 don't think you're going to miss anything with the clock generator.  I bought one and if there's a difference in sound quality, it's not very noticeable.  If you have it in writing that they said they were going to give you one though, I'd push back on that and hold them to their word.

I'm debating doing just that, but I'm happy they've replaced with a brand new unit.

I'm tempted to pop it open and compare the internals to the photos I've found published... to confirm a change/update.

Hi, does anyone have problem with controlling apps for NT-505, Teac HR streamer app, Lumin app, Esoteric app? Those apps is pretty much universal and identical and suppose to work with Teac NT-505... I don’t have any problem with LAN network connectivity, but my issue is: I can’t use any of those apps with my Teac NT-505 because the apps won’t work properly... when I try to start new Tidal album or new track the apps just won’t respond and nothing happens, however Linn app works just fine. While Tidal album started and played by Linn app I can actually paused and skip tracks with Lumin app, Teac HR streamer app or Esoteric app but again I can’t start new album or track with those apps. Only Linn app works properly, although this app is for totality different unit and not even have to be supported by NT-505... any suggestions how to fix it and make OEM apps works?

Surfmuz... that sounds like a network/permissions issue with your controller (phone/tablet).

My nt505 replacement arrived today... sounds as great as i remember.
