Basically,
Initially lost Spotify Connect facility, then the Bridge itself.
Multiple Network resets and cable changes later and now the Bridge itself isn’t showing up on the Network, so no MQA or Spotify connect on my DS Snr.
Luckily my Oppo 203 is a Roon endpoint so have my music, but no Spotify Connect or MQA from Tidal.
Any help getting me back on track appreciated, thanks.
Some troubleshooting info:
Network structure is as follows:
Cable Model > Router > DS with Bridge
On the DS home screen when Bridge II is selected, the network icon shows Green not red.
The Ethernet connection I use to the bridge passes network access to any other device I connect it to, so it works ok.
If you have not tried this, in this order – this is the “rain dance” I perform when I can’t get the network to complete its “handshake” with the Bridge on occasion (worth a shot):
Power down (hard off/no standby modes) all individual pieces and parts of kit making up your network, including the DS and leave everything off for at least two minutes. (I prefer to actually unplug all of the kit.)
Starting upstream of the DAC (e.g., with your modem or modem/router), power everything back up one at a time. The DS should be the last piece of kit you power back up. [Don’t forget to remove the SD card before powering the DAC back up if you are using the latest version of Snowmass. Otherwise, the firmware will reboot as well. I try not to reboot the firmware when power is lost to avoid the outside chance of an overwrite corrupting the code or partial reboot.]
Wait at least five minutes to see if this did the trick. If not, add one more step – from the DS set up screen, press the bridge reset button.
This works for me. Patience is key. By the way, sometimes all you need to is that last step (bridge reset button).
Hope you get it sorted, soon. I know this is very frustrating when it happens.
Regards.

Right you are.
(some routers default to 192.168.1.1, but not this one)
However, since gazjam doesn’t seem to be participating in the thread, it may not matter.
Uhm…what?
Thanks Guys, maybe a little slow to get back…?
I’m based in the UK and time restricted with work, family etc.
SO what I’ve tried and what doesn’t work so far:
1 Did the “Rain Dance” and no joy.
I’d did a few network resets, but haven;t let the kit power off for a period of time, will try that next.
Thanks Scottie1
Enabling DHCP and power recylce…no dice unfortunately.
DHCP was already enabled on my router.
Not tried manually setting the DNS to 8.8.8.8…what does this do?
It allows the DS to connect to the Internet. At the moment, your DSD is trying to use the Router to translate URLs to IP addresses, and perhaps your router doesn’t do that?
What router are you using?
and no joy.
