The SqueezeBox Radio is a 802.11g device (2.4GHz with theoretical
transfer rates up to 54Mbps).

802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) unlike 802.11ac also makes changes to the modulation
in the 2.4GHz band (offering OFDMA and a bunch of other under the hood
changes).

My guess (and it is just that) is considering the relative newness of
802.11ax something in the firmware or config is upsetting your older
802.11g devices like the radio.

If it is just modulation or legacy suppression that is an issue you may
find creating a dedicated 2.4GHz WPA2 802.11g/n SSID for the radios and
older devices might be a good option. It may have a tiny impact on
performance of 2.4GHz ax devices but I don't really think it will be an
issue in any real sense.

It may also be something as simple as the vendors default Wi-Fi 6
settings simply turning off legacy g support assuming (incorrectly) that
most 2.4GHz devices support n. Does the firmware have some sort of
advanced menu to set that?

I guess my preference would be a separate SSID as a 1st test, but then
my media devices are on a vlan'ed network so my setup is far from
typical ;).
