You can try getting a wifi extender which has ethernet ports, put it close to your Devialet, and connect the Devialet to it via ethernet. I did that for quite a while when I had problems using wifi in my home because of the location of my Devialet relative to that of my router and it worked quite well. You should have no problems with that while using Devialet AIR and Roon but you may run into problems if you try using the Roon Ready connection with RAAT. If so you will probably fix them if you connect an old ethernet switch with one or moor 100T ethernet ports between the wifi extender and the Devialet and connect the Devialet to a 100T port. The extender itself can be connected to a gigabit port. The speed of the connection to the switch doesn't matter, only the speed of the connection to the Devialet.
