you might want to follow along as this new thread develops, 6 radios
which freeze and need power cycles.

As d6jg says, it can be wifi induced even if it doesn't appear to be so.
I have had exactly as you describe, but only with receivers on wifi,
either synced (with other player types) or not. I have only had
receivers get "lost" or "freeze" where only a factory reset can restore
functionality. If other players are synced, they also are disabled
(until I unsync them). One I put my receivers on ethernet I have not had
any problems like this. It has been years and my players are used
heavily. I should also mention that I got a better ISP, and upgraded my
routers (Asus 66U series).

You asked what you can do to troubleshoot. Since you say this happens
frequently, I would start to eliminate players from the mix, or, at
least disconnect a sync link (sync 4 together and 5 together) and see
one group fails while the other plays, if so, continue to narrow (say 2
and 2). If you get down to one you suspect, try a different power supply
or swap and see if the problem follows the supply. Since you suspect the
RX's and boom, maybe make this it's own group.

Also, if at all possible, run ethernet at least temporarily, and I
personally would suspect the receivers as well if any of them are wifi.

You can also have them play muted while you are not home/sleeping, then
come back and see if they are still playing, as you say that power cycle
is the only thing that fixes them. One final thought, if you do get a
lockup, try power cycling one at a time, trying to resume each time to
see if you can find the troubled player (if only one).
