I was able to hard wire the Pi long enough to get back on the 2.4 network. I also did a full update to the Picoreplayer.

I should have also mentioned that I often get "unavailable for streaming" when searching my Qobuz catalog. I hope the antenna helps but it is a bit odd that it worked almost flawless the first couple of years.

"unavailable for streaming" when searching my Qobuz catalog.

does this mean? Using the Qobuz search tools has always worked for me.

As Abe observed, however, recalling "favorites" can sometimes fail due to moved or no longer available content.

  Sometimes the signal is so bad that nothing will play but it's good enough to at least see my library. When this happens each title displays this message.

"I should have also mentioned that I often get "unavailable for streaming" when searching my Qobuz catalog."
This is sometimes a Qobuz issue especially with Qobuz created playlist tracks that you may have incorporated into one of your own playlists. The Qobuz playlist may have changed and that track is no longer there. I've also seen this with entire albums where Qobuz may have made a change to the album. Try deleting the album from your catalog and searching for the album again within Qobuz. This usually works for me. If you can, try it while your RPi4 is on hardwired Ethernet to eliminate networking as the problem.
" Any suggestions? Does the latest Pi have stronger wifi? TV sreaming is working just fine."
The major improvement in USB, Wifi, and networking in general was between the RPi3 to RPi4. I'm not sure if there were any improvements in that area in the RPi5. Even though I have the RPi5 I don't use it for music and it (along with all of my RPi's now) are on hardwired Ethernet.
Wifi on my RPi4 worked but in my experience even with the outboard USB antenna it was no where near as good at picking up Wifi as many of my commercial devices. For example, the iPhone and iPad picked up Wifi 100% no issues anywhere in the garage. The RPi4 had to be placed up high on a certain wall or I would have music dropouts. The same RPi4 worked fine on Wifi so long as it was in the house.
Hardwired Ethernet is always the better solution IF you can run a network cable. I realize this isn't always possible.
