Devialet Chat

 Does the D200 and the computer running AIR software have to reside on the same subnet?  

My guess is yes - the AIR software uses UDP which isn't usually routed between subnets.

UDP is route able as it uses the IP protocol for that and is often used to stream video via Internet. It is a connectionless protocol vs connection oriented such as TCP which also uses IP for routing. So yes the devialet can be on another subnet. UDP has less overhead because it does not require handshakes etc however doesn't garantee correct packet delivery but that can be solved on the receiving part.

...but isn't the discovery protocol based on a broadcast, which might not be routed between subnets? Not sure.

I don't think it's possible to have computer and Devialet on two separate subnets.

My bad.

UPnP Discovery is SSDP - not routed.

Thanks for all your replies.

I have two routers (one wireless, one not) for coverage in my house. I actually only wanted to have one subnet but I've been struggling to figure out how to bridge the two routers. I finally figured out how to do it, so it's now a moot point as I can have all devices on the same subnet. 

However, in the process I did find that Devialet discovery did not work when I had two subnets.

Glad you're sorted, now sit back & enjoy the music.

Yep, it's indeed the broadcast traffic that makes separate subnets close to impossible in modern networks.
