Ah, I didn’t realise that Ropiee supported Tidal Connect, at least not officially. Hence why I assumed it was some other distro.
Yes, I agree, taking it out of the metal case and/or running a long Ethernet cable are problay the easiest/quickest way to check if it’s WiFI related or not. But would also be worth running a wifi network scan to see if the issue is general network/wifi related (ie. a dead spot in reception) or if it’s the WiFi reception of Steve’s RPi board itself at fault.
