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.

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.
Network sign on the unit is very accurate always stable, newer drop off or skip streaming, show’s MQA and non MQA info and works flawlessly with Linn app but only with Linn White and Linn Kazoo app... doesn’t look like network problem.  I tried everything... reboot of streamer, phone, tablet and router, apps kill and reinstall, streamer firmware update... nothing helped.
As soon as it doesn’t affect SQ, I’m ok with using non original App..i don't think it matters ?!
I don't understand any issues with the Lumin or other apps.  Mine work just fine.  The only issue I will have sometimes is that my Ipad will be on one repeater I have and the NT-505 will be on another.  Sometimes that makes the app not want to recognize the NT-505.  Other times, there are no issues at all.  It goes in spurts. 
If I have a problem, I just make sure the NT-505 is plugged in and functioning and that my Ipad is connected to that same repeater. 
Question:  Are you streaming via Bluetooth with your Linn app?  If so, you are not getting the full potential of the NT-505.  The NT-505 needs to be in the NET mode for the Lumin app to work.  If you are in the Bluetooth mode, the app won't work. Just what I have found anyways.
