I've encountered this before with ISP-supplied routers; perhaps it's done to limit customer support calls. But to get a properly working UPnP AV streaming system, you may need to change your router.

If your devices stay visible and start to connect readily, the problem has resolved itself. If, at least temporarily, you can connect everything up by Ethernet and use a control point in the laptop, and it all works then, then the issue will be related only to the wireless (I have come across routers that have separate multicast settings for wireless and Ethernet). Then, disabling the wireless on the router and getting a separate Wireless access point might resolve the problem.

Otherwise, you might want to replace the router, which is what I have done (the router that BT insisted on sending me has never been out of its box). It's a cost, but you get a better, and usually much more configurable router when you buy your own.

Thanks for looking into this David. It's now reliable with Bubble and the Naim app now, and works beautifully, but Sony Songpal is not interested. So I realise I can live without Songpal as I only need that for Radio services on the Sony box in the kitchen. I can use Bubble for FLAC so I can shut down the Synology native server.

You are right about the router, it's pants (to use a technical term). We had a TPlink which was fried in a near Lightning Strike and we will get another I think; good advice.

I've figured why my playlists wouldn't work now and am fixing those with a relative path and the right slashes!

I just need to figure out how to get a report of my bad/inconsistent tagging so I can fix those now...
