Usually when this happens, I start with power cycling the mini end points. If that doesn't work, I power cycle my Bolt. Today all mini end points in my system said they couldn't see the Bolt. I power cycled everything including the router and network switch. I can use network based remote control and the Bolt Ethernet port tests OK. I even moved the Bolt and one mini end point to Ethernet ports on the router (it has 4 ports) instead of the network switch. Each mini end point says the internet connection is fine. All IP addresses are in the same range. I'm truly perplexed. Did Tivo release a software update that introduced this problem? Running 21.10.2.v22-USC-11-849 Help!
Bolt and minis not seeing each other

Might have each connect with the mother ship so it updates with your account info. Then see they can see each other. Also check to be sure the media key is same on all your boxes. Mine got messed up a while ago and the boxes couldn't see each other. It was a mess that took Tivo a week to resolve.

When you say they can't see each other, do you mean the mini's are not connecting at all, or are you getting the V106 error that they are NOT on the same account? Others including myself have been having this issue since Sunday; mine STILL isn't resolved after multiple phone calls Monday & today:
V106 error - Can't access other Tivo's
I think Rovi F'd up something big time, & either doesn't want to admit it, or they can't figure out how to fix it. (most likely, since they could F-up a 1-car funeral!

My setup is one Bolt and 4 minis that use hard wired Ethernet connections to communicate with each other. I have a gigabit Ethernet switch and a router. All of my minis report that the network is fine, they can connect to the TiVo service but although they show the Bolt in the device list and it's checked, they say they cannot connect to it. The Bolt also says that the network is fine and it can connect to the TiVo service. We can also use TiVo network remote control from our iPhones so that tells me that the Bolt is receiving/processing data from the network.When you say they can't see each other, do you mean the mini's are not connecting at all, or are you getting the V106 error that they are NOT on the same account?

Media key is the same on the mini and Bolt.
I decided to check my "Account" on TiVo.com and pulled up the devices to make sure that they are all listed. It shows "There is an open balance in your account" for all of those devices but they are all "product lifetime service" so I'll have to follow up when they are open on Monday.
Yes, all of this was true when I was getting the V106 errors. I didn't get the "open balance" message, though. (There was no indication at all on tivo.com that anything was wrong... but, see my posts in that thread.)
This just started happening to me this weekend as well. Neither of my minis can see my Bolt Vox or Edge. All are definitely on the network. When I go to either the Bolt or Edge and try to see the other device I get the V106 error. All are on Lifetime subscriptions.
For those who find this thread first, it appears there is another thread indicating the problem is having too many TiVos. Sigh.
