Yeah, I'm running separate SSIDs, but these devices are the only ones in
my network that won't connect to the 5ghz one. Not sure what's going
on.
The easiest way is to have separate SSID's for 2.4 vs 5ghz.

It sounds like the RaspPi 3B+ supports 5ghz wifi. Is there any trick to
make this connection? I run both 2.4 and 5ghz in my home. For some
reason I don't seem to be able to connect my Pi's running PiCorePlayer
to my 5ghz network. I'm assuming I'm just doing something wrong?!

There are indeed lots of routers that will only allow a reservation
-inside- their reservation scope - Fritzbox as just one example - but
may will allow it inside and outside.
Why is a reservation better than a static?

There are two stages in WiFi connection.
First is the SSID connection to the WiFi Access Point or Router and
second is the acquisition of IP address from DHCP server and connection
to the network subnet.
If you attempt to give the Pi a static IP address you simply will not be

What is the IP address and how did you give your pCP that address and
what is the IP address of your router? Almost sounds like you've given
your pCP an IP address outside your routers LAN subnet.

Expose the USB drive attached to the Pi as a network share via Samba
Map the drive on your Windows PC and point media monkey at it.
Should all work but the issue is backup.
A NAS makes the backup task easy as youd just connect a USB drive and
