Link Rate Problem / Sonos

Hi there! I have two sonos speakers on my Orbi network at 2.4GHz.

One speaker gets a link rate of 54mbps, runs radio fine. 

The other constantly pauses, and has a link rate of 1mbps.

 

Can I change the link rates? Is there a way to reset this?

Thanks!

  • My Sonos One connects at 5G.  If you provide the model numbers of the Sonos speakers, their specs will indicate if they support both bands.

    The Link Rate is a consequence of the WiFi signal level.  The farther devices are from a WiFi access point, the lower the signal level and lower the Link Rate.

     

    That said, a 1mb Link Rate is suspicious.  (Actually still enough for audio, but not typical.)
