Dropouts From Server


Greetings all.  I am having  problems with dropouts during music playback from my server.  I recently lost one of my RAID drives and had to replace the entire NAS server, as well as the dead drive.  I was using a WD MyCloud Ex2 as the server, and for several years had no dropout problems.  I replaced the MyCloud with an updated model MyCloud Ex2 Ultra.  I rebuilt the new drive from the surviving drive, which passed all diagnostic testing  (the rebuild was a twelve hour exercise) and put the new server in line.  Now, often I am experiencing program dropouts.  The PC I am using is an Acer Aspire.  The processor is an Intel Core I7.  I had no real problems before the server failure.  I am controlling everything through Foobar2000.  Any thoughts or suggestions as to the source of the dropouts would be very appreciated.

I also had Roon dropping from my music server.  After going through all of the diagnostics, it turned out to be updates on my router and network switch and had nothing to do with my server.  
I don't think it has anything to do with your increasing your internet speed.  What modem are you using?  What router?  What network switch?  Maybe try unplugging what ever you have to re-boot the whole system.
