Description of Issue

I Have been using ROON with Tidal for 2years without any major issues. albums, files and tracks have been loading fast and very few interruptions while streaming… Lately over approx the last 2 month, I experience more and more problems with slow reaction and long loading times between ROON and Tidal. Now I can hardly play without error meassages (“network problem”, “trac not available” etc…) interuptions and long loading times. There is nothing changed in the set up or the broadband and WiFi connections over this time. I have also been trying different access points in my router but no change. When playing from my ripped albums (also with ROON) from an external storage it works well.
Playing Tidal without ROON gives no issues and direct response.

I have been reinstalling the OP and reset the “Databases&Settings”, apart from the normal restarts of hardware and network gear. This resulted in need to reinstall “missing Codex” in the data file, and this message still remains on the Status page even if I done everything acc to the manual incl restarts/reboot. (I think this may be a different issue…?) But it seems not to influence the slow reaction as described. !

I have no other issues with my internal WiFi or Internet.

The problem has become more and more pronounced over time
pls guide me on what I can do to restore my ROON experience.

Replying to my own problem! hahaha. But, I thought my issue may be network related, although Tidal worked perfectly well without ROON. I had no issues whatsoever with internet from same Router. I started to eliminate all wired hardware and eventually also changed to a new Router (from my Tp Archer C9 (not so old)). And the problem was solved. No more error messages and slow loading of tracks. Everything works now as it should.
But what was the Router doing with my Tidal ROON link???

I can not start up the Roon Core, what is the problem. I have a Mac.
