RBS50 - Adding one more Sonos Play1 drops internet connectivity after awhile
Using Firmware v2.1.1.16 with the RBR/RBS50. Connectivity is all working, have multiple switches downstream of the RBR, with multiple devices either plugged in via ethernet or connected wireless. C...
Thanks for responding, but still confused. If I have 5 of my 6 Sonos devices working correctly through hard wired connections, why do I need to switch all of them to use wifi? Don't understand why the 6th seems to kick my internet down.
I also don't have a Bridge or Boost, but can attempt to set up all of them through existing wifi in the advanced settings. Though not sure older sonos devices will recognize that, and that is not preferred, as I have a large house and they are spread out inside and outside, through multiple floors. Hence the hardwire connections when we remodeled the house.
Will see what I can figure out tomorrow morning with your suggestion. Thanks.
I have found Sonos to be very sensitive to ip conflicts so to avoid issues, ensure you start with all Sonos items powered off and then restart your router. You should then add your wired Sonos item an then power up the rest.
as said above, it is very unwise to have more than 1 wired Sonos item to avoid loops.
