In the extremely unlikely situation that someone searches this issue (BTHub 6 and reserved IP addresses) I haven't found a solution as such but I think I have discovered the cause of the issue - a wifi extender. Since Spotify Connect doesn't work in LMS anymore I dusted down an old gramofon

Hi The Groundsman, Have you found the IP range for DHCP? You really need to know this information, before setting fixed IP addresses. One duplicated IP address will cause network havoc. You should check your IP reservation time. If that has been set low, IP addresses will change more often.

The reasons DHCP reservation v fixed When using WiFi, connection occurs in two phases 1. The SSID connection and 2. IP address from router. 2 can only happen if 1 has worked. If you attempt to fix an IP address at device level for something that connects over WiFi and it doesn’t work you have a
