Thanks FURRYe38,
Multicast was a feature I didn't know that I had nor that I use. I wonder if that is why my Sonos periodically disconnects and reconnects. (It is rather annoying when listening to a radio station, I get a repeat of the introductory message.) The Sonos is also wired via the switch to the RBR50.
