IIRC an SB1 doesn't decode FLAC but will decode WAV - so those FLAC
files are presumeably being transcoded to WAV on the server. While this
does put an extra load on the server its unlikely to be a problem unless
it is already very busy (have you looked at "performance" in Task
Manager?).

But usually when someone can play MP3 but not FLAC/WAV its a wireless
bandwidth or interference problem (WAV at 1411 kbits vs MP3 at 192 or
whatever). You could verify this by switching temporarily to a wired
connection.

A 108Mbits router isn't, I think, likely to make a difference, 54 is
plenty but you are obviously not getting that.

Might there be a new source of interference nearby?  Try a different
channel on the wireless.

And yes, the network light will flash all the time that the SB has
power to it, it is always communicating with the server even if not
playing.
