Pulling some Ethernet wires and buy some simple switches are not super
expensive , the pliers and kit to terminate cat cable is also cheap .
One major pint I had .
Is the server wired yet ?

Same here. Wouldn't touch a"lifestyle" product if it was free, and have
yet to find something that compares to LMS for everything else. Pity it
is just that little bit too hard to setup to recommend to anyone who
isn't at least a bit techie.

If you go all in, Sonos runs its own mesh and you bridge it with a
cable. I'm pretty sure Sonos are on the way out anyway.

I too use a TPLink Archer C7 and find it to be an excellent router. I
used to have frequent interruptions and inability to connect to the
server when I ran LMS on my Windows 7 then 8 then 10 PC. Since I
switched to using a Raspberry Pi 3 running PicorePlayer I have had
basically zero issues.
Have you tried unplugging the SB1 to see if its 802.11b only is
affecting either network and in some cases LMS behaviour.

Cheaper to build Sonos? Not likely. One Sonos box will cost you more
than a professional router, and I've found that reliable 2.4ghz wireless
G beats unreliable 300/900Mbit AC and N networks every day.
The time basis for these issues is classic cheap router syndrome, sorry
to say.

I think you mentioned something about a wireless bandwidth of 300mbps?
I would suggest to set the 2.4GHz band to wifi-g only (54mbps, 20MHz
channel width).
The SBs won't see the 5GHz band so you can set this one to wifi-n or
wifi-ac with channel bonding and all that.

Streaming devices also tend to expose the weraknesses one have in a
network .
Even a crummy network is fine for intenet browsing and email .
But the crakcs are showing when you want continius troughput 24/7

I would concur with this. 50% is not good WiFi. My set of five players
never drop below about 70% for years now. Definitely you want LMS on a
static IP, and hopefully you can just assign a static DHCP IP on your
router.
But I'd also say that tp-link is not a super high quality aftermarket
And I forgot . Squeezeboxes does not have the very best WiFi especially
compared to other more modern stuff . So youd need a solid network.
Btw 3 of my 4 players are wired .

No chromecast or android anything. There's a Roku that's rarely used.
Switched 2.4ghz to a fixed ch 6 & updated router firmware. We'll see
what that does.
Thanks for the ideas so far.

Do you have any Chromecast devices on your network? Android phones
qualify as chromecast. There's a known issue with Chromecast causing
some routers, TP-Link and Netgear both suffer from this, to drop their
2.4Ghz network. The SSID will still show, but devices can't connect.

Thanks for the input guys. Router is this -
https://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-9_Archer-C7.html - it's
aftermarket, not all-in-one or ISP-supplied. Before that was a Netgear,
before that something else. I get a new one every 3-4 yrs to update
tech.
No static IP's, all dynamic.
The SB1 only support 802.11b and so if it ised in a network with V2 abnd
V3 on 802.11g - it may be dragging the network down to slower speeds.

If you can disable IPv6 stuff if it is not being
definitely sounds like a network problem and not a squeezebox hardware
problem (particularly because it is the same even if not using LMS).
How do the players and computer get IP addresses? Provided
automatically via the router and DHCP? Or have you given anything static
IP addresses (bypassing
I never, ever hear from people having random connectivity issues when
they built their own router and use a dedicated access point as two
separate devices, only from those using an all in one router, usually as
supplied by some ISP.
Do some ping tests, make sure your router's DNS server is any

If you need to reboot your router you should know the point of the
issue
A router / all in one device doesnt need to reboot unless there is a
