The Blue wifi icon is documented in the SB Radio manual as loss of
connection to LMS as opposed to red which is loss of wifi...

I have an LMS 8.2 installation on a RPi4, serving two Squeezebox Radios,
both running the last Logitech firmware 7.7.3-r16676 without the version

Radios connect fine and behave perfectly, I just ignore any outdated or

So could be you've got a (new) power issue, does the Radio have a
