Description of Issue

ROON keeps losing connection to the core. The disconnect usually lasts 10-15 seconds at minimum, sometimes more than 30 and occurs repeatedly (once every 1 to 2 hours). Music playback is interrupted and has to be restarted manually after the connection has been re-established by Roon. All devices running ROON app (i.e. Macbook, iPhone, iPad) start looking for the core.

This behaviour started after the latest release 1.8 build 903, although in the same period lots of ubuntu patches have been released also.

Can the logs help?

I would first try connecting everything with ethernet to eliminate the WiFi as the issue, especially the Core.

Thanks for this input.

The core is wired (I updated the problem description since this was not clear); two of the three endpoints are not and can unfortunatily not be wired (old house).

This setup has worked without issues for years.
The only changes are: update of Roon, some Ubuntu updates. Nothing has changed network wise.

The behavior is similar to that being described in ROON keeps losing connection to ROCK (Intel NUC).
In fact I just copied parts of the description because it perfectly reflects the situation at my place. And I understood this setup is fully wired.

Additional input. If I run the core from a MacBook (not wired) then I do not have the issue.
