Sono components not connecting over Orbi RBR50 mesh network

Hi

Purchased an Orbi RBR50 router and satellite mesh Wi-Fi for our house. Mix of older and new gen Sonos components (Play3, Playbar & One). When running set up in the Sonos S2 App its finds the product but when trying to connect to the Sonos network, I get a ‘Unable to joying the network “SONOS”.’

Ran the same setup with the old wifi router (Netgear D7000) and it set up ok.

Only variable is Orbi. 

Any hacks or trips please?

Or is the Orbi useless with Sonos? 

Thanks..Matt

Re: Sono components not connecting over Orbi RBR50 mesh network

If you do a quick search on the forums, there's a ton of issue with sonos and orbi (mesh systems in general). 

It looks like something work for some but not all. 

Try doing a quick search on google for sonos/orbi and try some of what has worked for some.
