SONOS Compatability with Orbi
Is Orbi compatable with the SONOS mesh network? I have an extensive SONOS system throughout my house (7000 sq ft). It works flawlessly and I have wondered why a mesh network for a LAN application ha...
Any new info on this? I just hooked up my Orbi and having frequent droupouts on my Sonos now.
My Sonos keeps dropping out as well. Did you end up finding a solution? Help would be very much appreciated.
Anything new on this? I purchased both at the same time. I had a few days of flawless Sonos on my airport extreme before swapping in orbi.
But I don't think it is limited to Sonos. At least one satellite is dropping all connectivity periodically while a sonos is wired to it. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem at will or without sonos wired as nothing else is "constant use" so if it goes down, I don't know unless I happen to be connecting to a device on that orbi that can't move to another one.
However, Sonos may be working better in purely wireless mode with nothing wired to any Orbi. I'm still experimenting.
No matter what, if Orbi can't deal with Sonos, it's going back to the store. Sonos products are probably the best wireless devices I've ever purchased. I will go through dozens of wifi products before giving up Sonos.
