Orbi and Airplay issue with Marantz SR7009 receiver

I'm having an issue with my marantz receiver and the Orbi RBR/RBS50. The receiver is hardwired to the Orbi and is set with a static IP. If I reboot the receiver, airplay will work for a short time but then will not be visible from any devices. The only solution is to reboot the receiver again. Are there any special settings or ports that I need to enable to get this to work correctly? The receiver experienced no issues with my previous airport extreme so I know it works fine, just must be a configuration issue with the Orbi. Thank you

Model: RBR50| Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi (Router Only)

Re: Orbi and Airplay issue with Marantz SR7009 receiver

What FW version is loaded on the Router?

What is the IP address pool range set on the router? 192.168.1.2 thru .254?

Re: Orbi and Airplay issue with Marantz SR7009 receiver

Is the Static IP address set ON the RCVR or the router?

Try setting the IP address pool, from 192.168.1.100 to .200. Static IP addresses should be outside of a default IP address pool, not inside. And should be ON the device, not the router. Reservations are set ON the router for devices.

 

IS the RCVR the only device that looses connections?

Where is the RCVR connected? Router or Satellite?

The static IP is set on the receiver, I also have it reserved on the router but will remove the reservation and change the address pool. 

 

The receiver doesn't lose the connection, it's literally just the airplay functionality. Airplay works just fine to my various Apple TV's, it's just airplay to the receiver that diasppears quickly. The rest of the receiver functions remain online. That's why I'm thinking there isnt a specific port opened up or something is crashing that functionality in my receiver possible?

 

Receiver is connected to the router

Yes, remove the reservation, you can only set up a static or reservation at one time, not both.

 

Well if the app is working for a time then stop, I presume it would be a configuration that needs to be looked at...Lets see if changing the IP config around helps first.

 

Is uPnP enabled? It should be by default.

I only enabled the reservation this morning, it didn't seem to make a difference. Yes, uPnP is enabled

Re: Orbi and Airplay issue with Marantz SR7009 receiver

Let us know if changing the IP config around doesn't anything different. There is some Apple HomeKit issues posters are posting about. Could be an issue as well for AirPlay....

 

Might try a factory reset on the router and set up from scratch and see if the problem continues. Might also try to revert back to last working FW version as well...
