Back when Devialet released support for Roon RAAT (but before they fixed it), I tried switching to WiFi to stream to my Expert Pro. It worked... some of the time. What I found is that I could stream (via Roon RAAT) fine for a day or two or maybe a week or more. Then one day it would have dropouts or just skip songs. No idea why or what changed. Then next day it might be fine. I finally just gave up on WiFi. For me, it just wasn’t sufficiently dependable. What did work was using ethernet and and a 100mbps switch. But, since the last Expert Pro firmware update coupled with switching Roon to ROCK on a NUC, everything is completely stable via gigabit ethernet.
I guess my takeaway is that just because WiFi worked fine yesterday, last week, last month, last year, it is no guarantee it will continue to do so. Other factors (neighbors, additional WiFi appliances, etc..) may have an impact sooner or later.
