    * The first thing to do is QUIT the Linn App, that is, fully close the Linn App and restart it.

1. Swipe up from the bottom (the Home bar) of the iPhone/IPad screen. This will show all open apps.
2. You can now scroll horizontally on this screen, or see a grid and see all the previously opened apps.
3. When you see the Linn app, swipe up on the App. The Linn App should disappear through the top of the display.
4. Now re-open the Linn app.

This will force a fresh connection and rediscover your Linn DS/DSM products.




  • If you have a VPN installed, try disabling the VPN. If, after quitting and restarting Linn App it can find your Linn DS/DSM's:
* Add the Wi-Fi SSID that the Linn DS/DSM is on, as a "Trusted Network"
* If you have a MESH VPN, try disabling this and quitting/restarting the Linn App. (It has been found after the IOS18 update this is causing issues with some VPN's)




  • .iPhone/iPad IOS 14.5 firmware onwards and Linn App versions up to Linn App V 4.2.26 has Linn DS/DSM discovery issues. This has been fixed in Linn App 4.2.27 onwards.

IOS14 has added security settings that may not have been updated to allow the Linn App to see what is on your local network.
This setting for enabling / disabling local access is under your iPhone/iPad
Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network and the user can toggle OFF>ON the Linn access to the local network.
