B&O radio, does anybody else experiences dropouts or repeats?

[Beobuddy]

Just a question as I’m curious whether I’m the only one experiencing dropouts or repeated fragments during listening to B&O radio.
Am I?

I think I have a rather sophisticated Ubiquiti Unifi Wifi system. It contains several Unifi Accespoint Pro(5,6, LR and Lite’s all powered  with POE switches, and router.
The overal available internet speed lays around 800Mbps. All information can be gathered with the help of the Ubiquiti app.
Streaming any other content (4K/Tidal/Deezer) doesn’t appear to be a problem.
During the day it happens at least once or twice a day. It happens on a Beosound 1 mk2. When joining it is even worse on the Essence mk2. It happens often that I listen to a part twice, as it repeats.

I’ve recently bought a new U6 Pro to replace the older AC Pro (2,4 and 5Ghz), but the BS1 doesn’t connect to the new U6 and remains connected to one of the older other  and accespoints.
It’s connected through the 5Ghz and sometimes to the 2,4Ghz band.
I can redirect the BS1mk2 to be connected with a dedicated acces point with the help of the Unifi app. But to no avail.
The logs tell me that the BS1mk2 disconnects and the some time later it connects again.
I did look at some BS1’s country settings as my dealer suggested. I’ve read a document with B&O’s preferred Unifi settings (avoid  and disable mesh settings,

So, I’m struggling to get my finger on the cause of this. Is it network related? A faulty BS1? Or is it B&O radio?
All I know that it irritates the misses massively and asks me whether we are the only one experiencing this kind of problems.

So, I need to solve this before she demands the old Beosound 3 back in place 🙂

I had the same problem with the Essence mk2. Now i have the Beoconnect Core and it’s a lot less, but still there.

There is a difference in radio stations I’m listening to. Dutch stations get often drop outs, Slovakion station almost non.
It only happens with the B&O radio, no problem with Tidal or Deezer.

Same here, some hiccups every now and then on various Mozart stuff (BL28/Theatre/Balance). Also UniFi setup with 750mbit WiFi, U6 Pro ap’s and fine connection for all devices (>400mbps, only 5Ghz, connected to dedicated ap, for every device).

Definitely a B&O radio issue. Tidal works fine.

We get dropouts and all speakers are wired with the exception of the A5. It’s not constant but it’s there. The Beosound 2 is probably the worst. Sometimes I do a reboot on the BS 2 and it’s fine for a while.

Spotify is fine.
