Humor me, does your SB Radio have a battery or is there an open AC
socket near your router (I am assuming the answer is yes)? So MOVE your
SB Radio to the router and use as short of an Ethernet cable as you
like, no need to run a 40 foot Ethernet cable when the SB Radio can
easily come to the Router.

I have seen tons of these issues and solved tons of them, if you don't
split the problem in half, you could very easily end up chasing your
tail without ever solving your issue. By proving it happens or doesn't
happen while using Ethernet also is the first and fastest way to
eliminate an actual WiFi issue, splitting the problem in half.

Thanks for the hints. I know that there are many factors influencing
WiFi connectivity.

Wiring these two Radios temporarily would mean to run cables of ~10
meters over the floor. I'd rather want to avoid this. :) And I don't
like to invest in powerlan adapters, since this setup worked over years
- yes, I know, the neighborhood could have changed. And to answer your
questions: yes I've checked interferences with neighborhood signals and
it's still ok-ish and my access points use fixed control channels for
2.4ghz.

But what makes me think that it's not a typical WiFi issue are the
following points when the problem occurs:
- I've checked WiFi signal strength on the Radio and on LMS WebUI and it
was at least 60%
- I can switch the Radio to MYSB and back to LMS without problems (which
obviously involves network operations) and then the issue is gone
- the music plays 10-15 minutes without re-buffering before it stops
- after I've selected and started the local music, the now playing
screen shows correct track and cover information only for a second or
two and then it shows no progress indication and track and cover
information from before switching it to standby mode
- LMS WebUI shows correct track and progress is in sync with the music
playing on the Radio

I just cleaned the sticky plastic with some spirit. Now the stickiness
is gone. Very easy.
