Immense troubles to get Sonos working on Orbi RBK50 3 node system
When I started this journey I just used my cable-modem router and Sonos worked great. Since then my network has got more and more populated and advanced. I am running 2 Zigbee networks at Zigbee chan...
I have a similar setup to you (same ST hub and hue hub) and also had issues with Sonos however I fixed them all by purchasing a Sonos bridge device and having all Sonos speakers run on their own proprietary mesh system. Since I e done this everything works awesome.
Yes, this is also a solution. I found a similar solution actually. Connect one of the speakers to a LAN and it does the same: forming its own mesh-network.
I actually had the bridge and also bought the Boost. Then I read an article than in general the use of a bridge should only be used if there were few wifi networks around, otherwise it would be interference. So I sold my brand new Boost with a loss and bought the Google Wifi, and here I am, back to start, but one experience richer: Don´t assume things will work straight away and don´t sell too early :-)
- Actually I the battle continues. I have tweeted a lot with Sonos, and in the end they want me to call them to sort this out. I will next week, but to me, this seems to be a faulty Play 5 unit. It reports as Zoneplayer and not Play 5 in Orbi, and as soon as I add it to the room consisting of all the other speakers, it fails after 1-2 songs causing a full stop. I explained this to Sonos, but they want me to call them. Credit to Sonos for identifying this, though, because they advised me to separate the Play 5 pair that contains the faulty speaker. Will be back...
