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...
If you have verified that the stability is with the wifi and not your internet connection, then I suggest doing the same with Ethernet plugged into the satellite. If that speed is stable while playing music, then it's not the backhaul.
The next thing to try is turning off the satellite entirely and see if the issue persists with just the router.
Do you have the 2 orbi or 3 orbi kit?

Okay I will try that as well.
I have the Orbi 2 kit.

I just tested with 9 sonos components actively playing a high-def stream from Pandora. There was no impact on the Orbi wireless throughput.
I have two bridges and 7 speakers, both old and new generation. I also have two CR200 controllers, which use the sonosnet wireless network.
Something must be misconfigured with your system, or there is something else going on that you haven't discovered yet.
I agree, its hard to for me to be entirley sold that they aren't compatiable because of everyone else saying that theres is fine. This is a stock Orbi system though, no strange changes made, no strange configs. I will continue to do more testing later this week, but I can replicate the problem so consistently that something is definitely going on. I thought there may still be a loop going on, but that would cause issues on the network as a whole reagrdless of whether music was being played or not.
When you say wireless throughput you mean testing the backend on the orbi's? Or your internet speed via speedtesting site?
