RBS850 - How to prevent 'wired' backhaul via Sonos
My Orbi RBR850 and two RBS850 with Sonos Boost connected to RBR850 runs perfect. To increase SonosNet coverage outdoor I connected a second Boost to RBS850. This temporarily did run perfect, boosting ...
Has anyone figures this out?
It's absolutely crazy to me that the RBS thinks that a connected device is a wired backhaul to RBR.
I have the same issue and it's driving everyone in the house absolutely crazy. Is there a way to force the backhaul path in Orbi so it connects to a specific IP address back to a specific RBR or RBS.
I have the same issue that after time or any type of internet flapping or instability the RBS reconfigures itself to shift from wireless backhaul to Ethernet backhaul via a hard wired Sonos speaker.
Current setup
FiOS to RBR
RBR wired to RBS1 to Arc and Sub
RBR wireless to RBS 1 to Sonos One
RBR wireless to RBS 2 to Sonos One
I have about 20 Sonos speakers on Sonos net

Looking forward to any stable solution !
In the meantime I run S1 wireless and S2 SonosNet with two Boost devices that are both wired to RBR. All further Sonos speakers not hard wired. This setup runs smooth, however still it would be great to get rid of the long wire between RBR and Boost for Outdoor.

- Interesting...
I've noticed that my
hard wired Sonos ARC to RBS
hard wired RBS to RBR never experienced this issue. It's only when an RBS is wireless backhaul to RBR that I connect a Sonos speaker hard wired to RBS is when this issue happens - I observe the same. To work around I hardwire Sonos devices only to RBR and do not hardwire Sonos devices to any RBS. As a result the wireless backhaul between RBR and RBS is stable.
