I have installed Volumio 3.378 on an old laptop and i’m quite happy with its performance. It is connected through Ethernet to my main network (192.168.4.0), where NAS, AVR, etc. are located.
My WiFi is not on the same subnet, since i use a TP_Link router for such purpose. Its WAN port is on 192.169.4.0 while its LAN and so all devices connected through WiFi are on 192.168.14.0.
My problem is that the Volumio app, either on iPad or Android connected through WiFi, cannot find the Volumio server, so as to control. Control apps of similar devices, like Denon AVR, Heos, etc. work and can connect to the respective devices which rely on the same subnet with Volumio.
Through a browser it works, so it is not an IP routing issue.
I have enabled IGMP proxy, etc. but still nothing,
Can you please help to overcome this issue and advise on the required actions?
Hello. I have the same issue in my network, where the network IP address configuration is similar. Did you resolve the issue that you mentioned in you post above?
The Android/iOS smartphone MUST BE in the same network IP subnet. This means that the WiFI access point MUST NOT act as a router with NAT function for local WiFi clients, but must be configured as AP Wireless bridge. Where WiFi clients must have IP addressing from the same IP subnet as the Volumio streamer. For example. The local network address looks like this: 192.168.0.0/24, the router’s address to the Internet is 192.168.0.1/24, the WiFi AP’s address is 192.168.0.2/24, the Volumio streamer is 192.168.0.3/24, and the Android client is e.g. 192.168.0.20/24.
By the way, I wonder why the Volumio smartphone app does not allow manual entry of the IP address of the Volumio streamer when the Volumio streamer is behind NAT.
