I am not clear on what happens when I select ethernet. Can we use only the inputs on the 201E when on ethernet? When using the Ethernet connection I get the ROSE Connection Failure message on my iPhone. Is this as designed?
Hi,
I’m going to assume that the 201E is similar to the 520.
You shouldn’t have an issue when switching between the ethernet connection and wifi as long as they are part of the same network.
Can your phone see other devices on the network that are connected to ethernet and just not see the wifi? If so then it could be your device settings.
When you plug in your ethernet did you turn off your wifi?
In the settings did you configure a static route or just used the DHCP configuration?
Thanks for the reply.
I turned the wireless off/turned ethernet on. The 201E tells me that you have to turn wireless off to turn ethernet on. I don’t know of any other way to assure that the 201E playback is using ethernet instead of wireless connection. I do think that there is less drop out or interruption of the playback when the ethernet is definitely delivering.
I have not configured a static route for the ethernet connection of the 201E. I assume that means that I am using DHCP protocol for the ethernet input. configuring an ethernet connection will be a new adventure for me!
I think I can see other devices that are connected to ethernet by hardwire on my wireless router software.
Right. So you should be able to see the Rose.
You may want to try turning the wifi off on your phone and turning it back on.
Then take a look at your airplay.
Also after switching to ethernet, power cycle to RS201E.
(Some say to unplug, wait for 10 seconds and plug back in.)
The other thing… which might happen… if the device is in sleep mode… it may not be seen.
Good luck.
