Orbi stability and Sonos tips required
Hi all, I am in a ground floor flat which is an old building and quite spread out. There have been dead spots in the past with wireless and I have used home plugs as a solution but have been more...
Thanks for the refresher. This got me to reviewing my Sonos setup. Everything is setup for SonosNet, but I can see the IPs that Orbi gave out as the router. It should be that way, correct?
Yes, each Sonos device will have an IP handed-out by your router. Sonos bridges its private mesh network with your LAN. That's why you can plug a device into the Ethernet port on any Sonos device and access your LAN from that device. I have a printer, a weather station, and a thermostat controller plugged into a Sonos bridge. (This bridging is also why you should not plug in more than one Sonos device. You can potentially create a network loop and crash your entire LAN by doing that.)
