Bluesound Node drops off network, does not work well with Tidal

Un Yuquiyu

• December 22, 2025 17:32

I have used a Bluesound Node for two or three years.  The unit stops playing after a random time period (usually after 30 to 60 min) and then restarts where it left off after 30 sec to a minute.  The unit is connected to the network via ethernet cable and is streaming music from a minidlnad running on a ubuntu server.  The unit had the same behavior with samba shares.  Recently I tried streaming from Tidal and that was a disaster bluesound dropping out every other song.

I have two Marantz units under HEOS that stream from that same server (or Tidal) with no issues.

What should I be looking for?  Bluesound software is up to date.

  As another user the Router would be the first thing I would be looking at a restart / soft reset. Also the Ethernet cable could have developed a fault.

  To reset your network the following sequence is recommended:

  Power off your Bluesound devices.

  Power off your Router and wait five minutes (very important) before turning it on again.

  Wait another five minutes for the Router to be fully up and running.

  Now power on your Bluesound devices.
