Yamaha RX-V677 AVR crackling action time out UPnP DLNA issues

[steen]

So I did go ahead and wire this directly and it seems to have HELPED but the problem is not entirely gone.

I still get ACTION TIMEOUT errors, static, weird glitchy crap and this is even after increasing the value suggested by bubble. I think I'm going to go back to WiFi and continue t-shooting from there.

I have had Yamaha receivers for 20 years and think they are great. This is my very first networked AVR so perhaps this is just par for the course with any AVR when it comes to streaming personal MP3/FLAC to it and I would imagine other AVR's would have similar problems.

So, in a nutshell, hardwire to router did help a bit but did not completely eliminate the issues. =(

I have not other AVR to test with and this RX-V677 is just one under their current consumer flagship model. On latest 1.50 firmware so until Yamaha can address the problems not much else I can do but live with the glitches.
