Microrendu direct connection via thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter

[parkhopper]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a direct connection from a MacBook Pro to the Microrendu via a thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter? I tried enabling internet sharing of WiFi through the thunderbolt bridge, but it didn’t work. Any help would be appreciated.

Its not really a supported feature or best practice.

Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunately, I couldn’t determine exactly how to configure for the thunderbolt adapter.

’m curious why it would not be considered a best practice. The MacBook is the audio server. Going directly to the Microrendu instead inserting a router in between would be a shorter signal path wouldn’t it? If it isn’t supported, than I’m out of luck, I just find it curious.
Because of the location of my server as compared to the router it makes it nearly impossible to run an Ethernet cable without just running between rooms across the floor.

I don’t want to upgrade to a new device with wireless capability (mostly because of cost), but I may be forced to.

We idea is to isolate the Rendu from the noise server
