WiiM device disappears from the network after N days; requires reboot

[Flesh]

Generally, my three WiiM Pro devices work fine. I use them primarily via Spotify Connect.

But, from time to time, one or more of the devices will disappear from the Spotify Connect list. Thereafter, when I attempt to access the devices via the WiiM Home Android app, the devices aren't present there either. It's as if they have killed their network connections, or no connections can be established any longer.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. The only way to get the devices to come back into either the WiiM app or into Spotify Connect's list is to restart the WiiM devices via hard reboot (pull the power plug).

Does anybody else experience this? Is it a known issue related to, perhaps, a memory leak or something else that would gradually cause the devices to be unable to allow connections, or to be unable to be resolved by the network? Is there any other anecdotal evidence that would indicate why it might occur?

How are the WiiMs connected to your router?

Could it be that a WiFi connection expires in the router?

Ethernet. Definitely possible that the Ethernet briefly dies, or WiiM thinks it dies, and then attempts to use WiFi. Is there a way to completely disable WiFi so that it'll never attempt to use it?

Regardless, it could definitely be a network issue that, for some reason, only a reboot will correct... although if a simple reboot fixes it, I am still left with the idea that there is something on the device itself not properly re-establishing sessions/connections/leases/whatever.
