I have an Airport Express set up wirelessly to "join an existing (Eero) network," in order to simply use it as an AirPlay node for two outdoor speakers via a Fosi DAC.
When I initially set up - or do a full reset of - the AE, it works just fine: I can select or deselect that 'zone' via AirPlay, the same as an Apple TV or HomePod speaker pair.
However, at some point - typically within about 24 hours - the AE 'zone' becomes no longer connectable, and I get an "AirPlay Unable to Connect to <AirPort Express device name>" error. I'm not sure if it has to do with dynamic IPs or something else in the network set-up, but it's very frustrating to have to do a full reset of the AE any time I want to use that zone.
I've searched and read through multiple threads with the same/similar issues, but haven't found a stable solution yet. Please help if you can!
