Node N130 interferes with other networking.

Good morning,

When I connect my Node N130 to either of my two internet routers - a Tenda HC1200 V12 or the standard TalkTalk Sagecom device - I get the same, infuriating problem. I plug in to the internet router using an ethernet cable and within seconds I can see the Node in the Android App and play music from Qobuz etc. This does not fail or mess about in any way.

But, the rest of the network behaves very badly. After I launch the Android app for the first time, I can no longer see any of my webservers - the router itself which sits at 192.168.1.1, the printer at 192.168.1.253, etc.

If I power off the router and power it on again, connectivity to the various webservers is restored until I run the App, after which it disappears again.

I had the same issue with an iFi Zen Streamer and sent it back for a refund, but now I find the Node I replaced it with doing the same thing. Can anyone suggest the cause or a cure?

  Sorry, I was unclear - I only have one router connected. My point was that the same failure occurs whichever router I use.

  No extenders or switches but one pair of mains networking adapters - one directly cabled to the router and the other cabled to a small PC that I use only for TV. I do have a switch and was going to try connecting that to the router and connecting the Node to it.

  Thanks Seppi - I'll work through that and report back.

  I found the solution - silly error on my part. I had the DHCP server settings able to hand out addresses across the entire range 2 to 254. I found this while I was working through your recommended diagnosis routines and the moment I restricted the range of DHCP to 2-50 the problem went away.

  After adding a NAS to the system today as a music store, I now have webservers in the network for Internet Router [Fixed 192.168.1.1], Xerox printer [Fixed 192.168.1.253], and NAS [DHCP 192.168.1.6], all accessible and BlueSound controllers on both my Motorola Android phone - [WiFi DHCP 192.168.1.9] and my desktop PC [DHCP 192.168.1.3]. There's also another phone and a tablet hooked in which I haven't bothered to check out. After several reboots of the various devices and restarts of the BlueSound control software on PC and phone, I can still contact all the webservers.

  Thanks Seppi - kicking me into being systematic about the thing did the trick :)

  That's exactly the case - two items with internally fixed IP addresses were in the DHCP scope.
