I have been corresponding with Karen at Devialet over the past few weeks about this issue.
At first, Karen was giving me the re-boot solution: disconnect the Devialet from the mains, reconnect mains and run factory config and then run preferred config. With a 100Mbps connection (Gigabit didn't work from the get-go) this fix would work for a few days and then revert to the issues some of us have been describing on this thread. Thus, I've been using 5GHz WiFi, basically without issue, though I would prefer a network connection as a long-term solution.
Yesterday, Karen asked what router I was using (Google WiFi). I'd be surprised if it were a router issue but one never knows. I rather think it has something to do with the most recent firmware update in February, because as one astute OP noted, no one was having issues with Gigabit Ethernet before the update. (As for me, I've only had my Devialet Expert 220 Pro for about a month, so I started immediately with the February update.) It's probably a software issue and it's bedeviling Devialet because there is no solution in sight with a full three-plus months in the rear-view mirror.
