So far so good. Already three days without an interruption. I looks like this was the issue. I will continue with the next step anyhow, which is upgrading the FTP cable to CAT 7 and CAT 8, for even more bandwidth.
I think it would be good for Roon to deliver Nucleus with more RAM. It is of course disappointing if you buy a Nucleus to have problem free operation, and for over a year this issues is there.
But thanks lot for guiding me through this process. I should have reached out earlier. But I never expected the issue sat in Nucleus.
Hey @Hans_van_Mierlo,
Thanks for the update! I’m glad to hear things have been functioning better for you, and I will certainly pass your suggestion over to our team.
I’ll keep this thread open just in case while you continue to move through updates.
The server has been running and problem free for over 8 days now. It is realistic to say now that the RAM upgrade brought the solution.
I am still in the upgrading of the network to CAT 8 and WiFi 6. Even the partial upgrade is making the experience snappier than ever before. So for everyone who is reading this: Better network and more RAM in Nucleus make a big difference in the experience!
Honestly, this is overkill unless you are running a Google datacentre. Cat 6A (or the pseudo-standard cat 6e) should be perfectly adequate for runs of up to 100 meters.
As Wikipedia states:
Category 8 cabling was designed primarily for data centers where distances between switches and servers are short and is not intended for general office cabling.
Honestly: I do experience a difference, no matter what Wikipedia states.
And the standard RAM was also is enough, according to Roon. Well, I just found out it wasn’t.
Probably 6a would have also done the magic, since I was coming from 5e. But I like upgrades to be future proof.
