Aurender N10 connection with the network
I just purchased the Aurender N10 used off of Audiogon this past week.
Quick start guide tells me that the unit will connect to the network with a Cat 5 cable. Download the phone app on my Samsung phone. Sounds simple.
3 days later after all kind of changes for the life of me I cannot get this think connected to my network.. WTF. Yes I restarted all my modems and routers a few times. Nothing.
Any suggestions other than getting my money back if the guy will do that?
I have it playing now. Things a re working. I guess the reboot of my network did it. It sounds like a nice upgrade from the Mac Mini I was using. The next step for me is to get my music from the SS hard drive I store my music on into the unit. Is is as simple as connecting the SS drive to the back of the unit and let it find it? |
Honestly, it should sound much better than just a “nice upgrade” from a MAC mini. This is a huge upgrade.
Yes, just connect the solid state drive. The Aurender’s is great at detecting attached or network drives and importing the files. We need to talk more if you are experiencing such a small upgrade in sound quality.

Cat5 is actually only rated for 100Base-T. Most people at home and work are on gigabit (1000Base-T) which requires Cat5e or better. I'd use a Cat6 cable if I were you. You may want to consider putting a DHCP reservation in on your router so it uses the same IP address. Or, there is a way to assign a static IP to your Aurender if needed. |
