titactoh Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Just got a friend to download Marantz Dac App. Following photos attached. The Na11sa device appear as follows. He is as equally "good" as I am. Last pic after choosing ALBUM : Song 1 etc appear. How to go from here? Any help appreciated . Thanks.
titactoh Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 In picture No 3. How do I find the IP Address of my Marantz DAC ? Any Bro. please.
petetherock Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Is your friend on the same wifi network as your NA11 - yes, the NA 11 is using LAN, but it also needs to be linked to your wifi system. You cannot control it without wifi.
petetherock Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) You can also try web control. But as I mentioned in your other thread, the user interface is very rudimentary. Edited June 10, 2021 by petetherock
titactoh Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 Thanks. Can I find the IP address of Marantz Dac by checking the DAC device itself ?
titactoh Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 Friend from neighbourhood. As blur as I am on TECH a better as he was able to load the Marantz Apps.
petetherock Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 There's no need to set IP address. I've Never done it for my NA 11. It will find it's own once it joins your local network. And your app on your phone in your home will join the same network and find the NA11. No fuss. But they must be on the same network.
Boxerfan88 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Try installing Fing app on your Android phone. Switch on your Marantz. Use the apl to scan the network. See if you can identify the Marantz IP address. After you get the Marantz IP address, configure it into your Marantz app. Try to get someone who has some IT knowledge to help you… Edited June 10, 2021 by Boxerfan88

Thank you very much for recommending connection with PC metwork and use of Airplay. It is interesting and a potential for other functions as well but has to be an Akan Datang project. I need to complete first the use of iPhone to control the use of my Thumbdrive with ripped song&music through the Marantz DAC as a convenience over the Marantz Remote Control.

The Lenovo AIO DeskTop is plugged into Asus Router RT66, and this Router is plugged into Asus RT-1200 done by an M1 technician. When going to THIS PC , the network does not show my Marantz nor my LG Oled Tv as parts of my network. But strangely neighbours iPhone showed up Lg Oled55 C9pta as in one of the pictures above. Thanks

Thanks Likely my reply will be too "cheem" for u. RT-1200 does not seems to support AiMesh, thus likely M1 technician configured the RT66 and RT1200 as 2 SSID. Devices connected to RT1200 and RT66 will be on 2 separated network and cannot see one another. U need an AIMesh system so that all devices connected via wifi to either router will be in a same network. U can try this. Plug the network cable coming from the RT1200 out from the RT66, and connect it direclty to the AIO. In this way, both your AIO and Marantz are in the same RT1200 LAN. See whether your AIO can now see the Marantz. Edited June 11, 2021 by jonlee

Thanks Bro I think this arrangement is one of the reasons for your issues with your wifi network. https://www.quora.com/Can-having-2-routers-cause-problems I'm no pro so you'll need help from a pro on this, but essentially from what I know, it's not a good idea to have two routers in your system. Eliminate one of them or use another as a bridge or AP. Unless the wifi signal is bad, you should use one router and both models are good ones. Then the LAN cable from the NA 11 should be plugged into the single router that you're using. If you want to use both them, it's more complicated and if you are looking for simplicity, it's not a good idea: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?97851-connect-two-asus-router-s-together-both-in-Access-Point-mode https://www.wikihow.com/Connect-Two-Routers Edited June 11, 2021 by petetherock

Originally, I had the RT 66 in my Family room for wider coverage as it faces 3 bedrooms. (The Modem is at a corner of the Living room with 2 walls separating the distance.) but reception in the Living room was poor and so when I contracted for M1 fibre RT-1200 can with it, So to have a stonger signal in the Living room I had the M1 technician did the connections. I have read in Xtremeplace before many bros. bemoaning poor reception because of location and desppite many of them using one model after another, reception did not improve out.
petetherock Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 As a crude concept, connect a very long LAN cable from the back of the first router direct to the NA 11, see if it works. Bring the NA 11 close to it if needed. If it does, then a bit of cabling will solve the issues. I am still advocating Airplay.. and a Mac mini
Audio Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 As far as I can see, your Marantz isn't connected to the same network as the mobile phone. (Audio)
titactoh Posted June 11, 2021 Author Posted June 11, 2021 Friend kind enough to come over . Just switch on Marantz Dac. First 3 pictures appeared. When I chose Music Server this 4th picture below appear below . It shows NO Connection on the Display. My Marantz Dac is connected to Router by LAN cable. Before I plug in the USB Thumbdrive I chose Music Server and this is what showed up.
hifiyeah Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 @titactoh: Just guessing here but it may be worth a try... I was thinking the same thing as Audio actually... I suspect your iPhone is simply not connected via wifi to the same network that your Marantz NA11S1 is connected to. That's why you can't see the NA11S1 on the Marantz app on the iPhone. 1. Which router is the NA11S1 physically plugged into? Is it the RT-66 in your Family Room or the RT-1200 in the Living Room? 2. Do you know the Network Name for this router? If you're not sure, first turn off the router that the NA11S1 is not connected to. 3. (I'm not familiar with iPhones as I use Android but I will try...) On your iPhone, disconnect from its current wifi network. Then go to your wifi settings to choose the same network name that your NA11S1 is connected to. 4. Launch the Marantz app on your iPhone and try again. I hope it can detect the NA11S1 this time. I will presume you already have your NA11S1 and the connected router powered up as you try all this, of course :). Also, I think you should probably select USB on the Marantz app, not the Music Server. HTH.

Get a LAN cable from the RT 1200 to your PC. Use the iPhone to join whatever network the RT 1200 is on. Edited June 11, 2021 by petetherock

Will request neighbour when he is up from is afternoon nap. You can try the following too if it's not convenient to turn off the RT-66 in the Family Room at the moment: 1. On your iPhone, look for the name of the wifi network that it's currently connected to. This may possibly look something like "M1-A123" etc. This is the network name of the RT-66. Note down this name. 2. On your iPhone, disconnect from this wifi network. 3. Bring your iPhone physically close to the RT-1200 in your Living Room. On your iPhone, look for the wifi network that shows the strongest signal, that is not the same as the network name in Step 1 above. 4. Connect to this network. This should be the network name for the RT-1200 in your Living Room. 5. Close and open the Marantz app. See if the app detects the NA11S1. 6. If it does, select the USB option and see if it reads the files in your thumbdrive.

My neighbour was able to connect after following your instructions. The success means a lot to me going forward will certainly bring so much convenience instead of scrolling till kingdom come with the Marantz dedicated remote. My thanks also to the following Bros. who made every effort to assist and advise. Petetherock, BoxerFan88, jonlee, Audio and other Bros. who I have inadvertantly left out. Will take not of BoxerFan88 on holding off purchase of used iphone. So will try FLING to see if my Android phone can be used as a remote. Thanks again to all ! 1
