roon rock questions

[oceanobsession]

Have a go, if stuck ask questions, you’ll get loads of help. What NUC model number do you have?

I bought this one - NUC10i7FNH, sounds similar to what you have so I can double check settings for you if needed, happy to use PM/Email/Chat. If you can get the ROCK USB to boot and the SSD showing up you are pretty much gold.

Hi folks , recently purchased a nuc i3 10th gen ssd and 16gb ram , running windows 10 with qubuz , windows is a nightmare to complicated , im considering roon rock mainly because it would seem my intel nuc is compatible with it , i would need to set up the bios for legacy , no problem , just tried flashing the operating system , no problem , downloading the codets seems fairly straitforward , you then put the ip address on another pc , in my case a lenovo 7in tablet , to operate the roon rock , no linux experience at all
how hard is this all to do , any advice please cheers phil.

I have done my first ROCK installation this morning , I followed instructions on Roon website and all have been done in roughly half an hour , only thing left is BIOS update but I will skip it for now as all works

Hi Phil
I didn't realise you bought NUC10 , I use 8 but only difference would be in BIOS setup , check this:

after you've sorted BIOS follow this :

if you get stuck post on this thread and there is lot of good guys willing to help
When you install ROCK any other device would ask to look for Roon core , you just need to point to ROCK if there is problem finding core you can point your core network address which you have displayed after ROCK installation or check on your router for ROCK address.

reverse the backslashes \\ROCK IP NUMBER\

 

[slawekt]

In Windows Explorer, type \\ROCK\

 

[slawekt]

make sure you type it in File explorer not internet browser

ok its asking me to choose a core screen , at what point do i download roon , phil.

 

[slawekt]

Do you mean download roon to your remote device ?

if you have ROCK Server running on the NUC you then need to install the ROON App on a Tablet/Phone/Computer and point it to the ROCK Server - it’ll walk you through and should find the Server for you.
