Hello @BobBDazzla, and thanks for your report! To confirm, your core is connected via Wi-Fi? This is something we recommend against in our networking guide, do you have better performance if you connect the core via Ethernet to the router?

Hi Nuwriy, thanks for your reply. My core is connected via Wi-Fi as the router is not (and unfortunately cannot) be in the same room. There are no problems with the Wi-Fi connection otherwise. Not sure why it should not work properly over Wi-Fi as the amount of data being streamed is well within the stated capabilities of Wi-Fi.
