Thanks for all your suggestions. I spent the money, and had Cat6 ethernet cable run under my house from the office to the audio system in the living room. The system has run my tests flawlessly for many hours. I plan to move the laptop into the office, and move the music off of the NAS and onto the laptop’s internal drive, with Roon Bridge running on a very small, fanless computer in the living room, and maybe elsewhere. I will install a wireless access point in the living room, improving wireless coverage where it is currently weak. So, if I decide to expand Roon to other rooms, I expect wireless to be sufficient.
Anybody want some Trendnet Powerline adapters?
On to fixing my metadata…
