hi carsten_h, I don't think there is a general problem with piCorePlayer like you describe... if there was, lots of people would be complaining! I use 2.4GHz wifi exclusively. I do a lot of my development on RPi's over wifi and I reboot many times a day. Of course, there could be a unique

Did I mention the "Network wait" command on the [Wifi Settings] page. This was added for some USB wifi adaptors that were very slow to negotiate with DHCP. Unlike yours, these adaptors were always slow, not intermittent. If you dramatically increase this value it might give you an indication

Did you use the same audio card on the "another Pi 3B+ at the same place but with Raspbian"? Way back, I have seen problems with built-in wifi and some audio cards. I would just add a USB wifi adaptor in this case and turn off the built-in wifi. I can't remember the exact combination of RPi

How many times did you restart Raspbian vs pCP. Your original post said sometimes...With wifi, intermittent problems are almost always signal strength issues.Raspbian might have better fault tollerance with the many daemons running in the background. That is a trade off when running

hi carsten_h, When you do connect, you need to run [Diagnostics] on the [Wifi Settings] page. Check signal quality and level. Also look at the ping tests, they should be a few ms and reasonably consistent and 0% packet loss. Have you noticed when it does connect how long it takes. Does it
