General discussion forum / RTP/UDP audio status: "Stalled (12)“

« Last post by k4fn on 2026-04-05, 00:36:41 »

I am providing this info after searching these forums for ops with the same problem.

My Internet provider AT&T installed a new BGW320-500 MODEM that was not compatible with my Microbit RRC-1258 remote system. After 1-1/2 weeks of troubleshooting they re-intalled the original BGW210-700 MODEM model and everything started working again.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: RRC1258 on Wifi 7 router - won't connect to Wifi

« Last post by N6MEH on 2026-04-01, 02:12:52 »

Responding to my own thread, but I believe I've found the answer:

The hardware in the RRC1258 only supports 802.11B. It does not support 802.11G. The issue with WiFi 7 is that they phased out the old WPA-based security for networks and replaced it with requiring a minimum of WPA2. The wireless card in RRC1258 does not support WPA2. It is constantly failing out trying to use old-style WPA connectivity on the new router. I found a bunch of "mismatched authorization packet" errors in the router logs after enabling additional logging to support this conclusion. 

As far as I can tell, the only way to connect a RRC1258 to a Wifi 7 network is:
1) Don't run Wifi 7 at all so that you can keep running WPA
2) Run the ethernet jack on RRC1258 to a wireless bridge that supports a later version of the Wifi standard

It isn't a great option, but until and unless RemoteRig releases an updated device that has better Wifi support, this is about all there is.

There are several companies that make Wifi 6 and Wifi 7 bridges, so luckily the needed parts seem to be easily available.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / RRC1258 on Wifi 7 router - won't connect to Wifi

« Last post by N6MEH on 2026-03-31, 06:13:11 »

Hello,

Has anyone gotten a RRC1258 to work on a Wifi7 network? I've updated my network router to an Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro. Everything else in my network (including 40+ IoT devices) are working fine, but the RRC client device won't connect.

It finds the network when using "network scan", but when telling it to connect, it just blinks the green LED. I didn't change the network name or WPA password when updating the router.

Is there a way to check the logs in the device to determine why it isn't connecting ?

Is there a known issue with Wifi 7 where some setting in the router needs to be changed? I've included the settings as attachments to this post.

After looking into Radio, status page it show

SIP Out port   13000
SIP In port   13000
Audio Out port   1198
Audio In port   13001
Command Out port   62758
Command In port   13002
External SIP In port   13000
External Audio In port   13001
External Cmd In port   13002

In a old image pictures of radio and control side that worked OK. Both radio and the control side settings are a correct copy as before that worked great.

Radio turns on fine but still can't get no Audio from the Kenwood 480 remote. Tried this with both my 480 HX and Sat version.

Hi there can anyone help me out regarding audio problem between RRC boxe's.  I have not worked my Kenwood 480 for some time now. Face and radio side work fine but problem with audio remote.

I have installed it again with same setting's but for some reason there is no incoming audio. I can see both control side at home OK and radio side at remote side fine. I am not sure if maybe it has changed and this could be my problem.

Any help would be grateful to get me online again,

Since sometime today (Monday 3/16), our remote station is not accessible.

The RRC-1258 box at the remote end is working, as I can connect to it via the local LAN address.

However, we cannot connect to it via web interface or by the local RRC box using the DDNS address. Multiple users have confirmed failure to connect.

Good afternoon - for about two weeks I have experienced strange happenings. My setup is - Icom IC-7100, RRC 1258 MKII and I have had excellent performance since 2016. I have replaced RRC once I think in 2019. Here's what's happening daily. At times - the display on radio fades or disappears completely, display and all actions freeze, only remedy is turn radio off and re-start, when radio is on there is a constant "skipping" in normal HF noise, and worst of all when in CW mode radio transmits uncontrollably with random breaks. My internet is good. I have also taken radio control to my shack and connected directly to radio on two separate occasions for at least one hour each and everything works perfectly. Am wondering if you have had any other experiences similar to this.

Thanks for any help. I have had great luck with the RRC and I think it is still the best overall method of remoting.
