can't stream in hi-res on Roon HELP

Dear A-goners

I am having trouble streaming hi resolution files on Roon.  96k 24bit will sometimes work but anything higher, I get a message that Qobuz is loading slowly and it won't play.  My internet is 56 Mps download which I assume would be enough for these files?  My main system is connected directly to the router and my upstairs system is connected via Wi-Fi.  Downstairs system is a little better, it will usually load 96K 24bit but the upstairs system can only manage CD quality.  I'm wondering what my issue is?  Do I need better internet or a dedicated NUC for Roon?  I'm currently running it on my iMac

thanks for any help

Just blow the wad on an extender and plug in.

Let a box designed for WiFi do the work.
Actually you never explained how you go WiFi from a computer to an analog system.
Hard to help anyone when one doesn’t know what’s goin’ on.

And lose the iMac. Another computer will not get you to heaven.
A $100 Ras Pi 4 and most everything else runs Roon. You will often get better sound without it.
