See following posts for the less than satisfactory conclusion. I thought I had it. Nope.
For several years I've only been able to use the Moode web interface on a desktop machine. My tablet and phone's browsers quickly "freeze" and can take a minute or longer to respond to screen input. Clearing the browser cache works for about 30 seconds. My workaround had been an Android MPD client. This week I parleyed a Father's Day gift card and some money to get an Allo Boss2 player. One of the things Allo says is that wifi performance using the built in adapter may be a bit weak. That's a polite way of putting it. I decided to try a generic AC1200 USB adapter I had lying around. After finding out how to disable the built in wifi adapter I got the dongle working. The magic words are: dtoverlay=disable-wifi in config.txt. By gosh, Allo was right. The web interface works just fine on my Lenovo sub-$200 tablet. Also on my low end Nokia phone with only 2.4 GHz wifi. Bonus: My 80K file library used to take 4 or 5 hours for the initial scan. With the USB adapter it took 2.
Assuming this continues I'll be thrilled. I actually have access to the web interface on my tablet Moode has been my favorite because it has a decent UI and more configuration features than I'll ever use. The ones I have used have all been useful. This is my bedroom system so I listen at relatively low volumes. I set up a loudness contour in CamillaDSP and am very happy with it. I doubt I'll ever exceed 5W output, and that on transient peaks, so the contour is a real plus. Next stop, room calibration.
