Wireless MacBookPro can't connect to Wired HDHomeRun TV Tuner - R7000
Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router Model R7000-100PAS - S/N 3LK54675A3945
Firmware - V1.0.9.18_1.2.27
MacBookPro - OS High Sierra 10.13.3 - using Safari Browser
Using Router connected to ATT Uverse Gateway via Bridge
Connected HD HomeRun Connect TV Tuner to Router via WIRED Ethernet Cable in Port #3
The MacBook Pro is connected Wirelessly to the Router. No problem accessing the Internet via the the MBP.
I downloaded the HomeRun App. When I open the App it detects the TV Tuner & I can even scan channels (33) BUT when I try to connect to the channels - I get a message NO Devices Detected + the Tuner Status is NONE. So NO access via MacBook Pro.
BUT - I tried my iPhone connected wirelessly into the Router. Clicked on the iPhone HD HomeRun App & immediately could watch all the TV channels on the iPhone.
Why can't I connect via the MacBook Pro? how can I fix?
I've searched all day on Google, YT and here + Opened a support Ticket with SiliconDust (no response yet)
Help!!!
GOT the Solution............and I knew it would be so darn simple. Won't tell You how much time I invested chasing it today.
A good friend & Apple expert gave me the answer almost instantly.
All I had to do was go into the MacBook Pro > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options (might have to unlock access via bottom left corner) > Unclick Block All Incoming Connections > click the + at the bottom of the Big Window (mine was blank) > Click on Applications (from the list presented > Click on the HD HomeRun App > Click OK..............Voila - over the air TV on MacBookPro instantly.
BTW the Firewall is still showing Green (On) it's just that the HD HomeRun App is connected.
I hope this helps someone so they don't have to burn up time.........but it was a learning experince .....oouch.

Thanks for reporting and "Solving" that. It might help someone else.
These things are rarely down to the router. My guess would have been the TV Tuner.
