Seem to be having odd problems with streaming radio stations to a Beam. Started off with problems on a Google Mini speaker. Used it to leave Boom Radio or Greatest Hits for the dogs wile out. Stream started dropping out and not restarting. Tried it on the Beam using Alexa voice control. Boom Radio exactly the same, Greatest Hits still drops but reconnects and carries on. Suspected WiFi issues so hardwired Beam to router. Exactly the same. Tried streaming from Amazon Music as a test. Perfect, in terms of drop outs any way. Streaming video to LG TV or Sky Q box through same switch is fine.

broadband is Gigaclear FTTP 500Mbps down.

any ideas? Appears to be certain sources rather than a device or network issue, but might well be wrong.

Get the issue, within 10 minutes, sooner is better, 15 is probably too late, and submit a diagnostic followed up by a support call to have it looked at.
