Sonos Beam WiFi

I've had the Sonos Beam for three months now. As a soundbar for my Samsung TV it is excellent. As a Wi-Fi device it is terrible.

It's sits with my Samaung TV, Sky Q box, Cambridge Audio Minx and Sony DVD player. All these devices never lose Wi-Fi connection but the Beam loses connection every other day.

I can't talk to it via Alexa or Spotify and my Samsung phone Sonos App can't find it. The only way to get it to comeback is to reset the router.

Getting mighty fed up with it now! Any ideas?

You could be right! I didn't give the Sonos Beam a manual IP address as I couldn't see how but I did reserve it's IP address in the DHCP pool and its not fallen off the Wi-Fi since. It appears then the Sonos Beam does not like DHCP lease renewal which is set in my router to 24 hours. Why don't Sonos Tech Support know about this? Now if I can get Alexa support working I have a fully functioning Beam again. Thanks Stanley!
