Can you confirm ports 1716-1764 are open for UDP and TCP? This is very likely a networking issue, since the connection process is very straight-forward.

[dinhokusanagi]

Yes, it is open

[andyholmes]

That should be enough then. I would go through all the regular steps, checking router, Wi-Fi isolation, firewall, ensure the device can be pinged, etc.

[dinhokusanagi]

GSConnecte works correctly, Valent should be working too

[andyholmes]

Are you also running GSConnect at the same time?

[dinhokusanagi]

I had deactivated to try to pair the Valent, as I couldn't succeed activated again

[andyholmes]

Okay, you need to make sure you actually stop the service, since GSConnect will reserve port 1716. If GSConnect is running, Valent won't be able to connect to other devices.

I would recommend you stop GSConnect and uninstall it if you plan on using Valent.

[dinhokusanagi]

You were correct, I disabled the pairing and the GSConnect extension ended the session and now it works correctly. Thanks for the help.
