I simply plugged in the Ethernet cable to the back of the Tablo- and checked the ‘allow remote access’ check box in the settings … (didn’t use the built in Wifi signalWiFi at all for the setup) and the Tablo grabbed an I/P address automatically from my router … and then I was able to connect to it via my phone and the web app on my Mac by using the ‘Connect’ function of the main screen after doing a scan for Tablo device in the app.
It’s like one part of the info is not being passed thru (video feed and cover art) to the remote devices, be it a phone, web app or Roku when using WiFi . But 90% of the unit works and functions as it is supposed to.
