My Sonos network consists of of 6 rooms and 13 players. My Playbar is connected to my home wired network with an Ethernet cable. The remaining players are all connected via the Sonos mesh network. All 13 players are on network 192.168.128.0. My Sonos system works great. My computers are also on the 192.168.128.0 network and the conputer-based Sonos controller finds my Sonos network without issue.
Recently I set up a new Lynksys Velop wireless mesh network. The Velop primary node is also connected to the 192.168.128.0 network with an Ethernet cable. The Velop wireless network is network 192.168.1.0. My portable devices all connect to the new Velop wireless network also without issue. The problem is that when I try to run the Sonos controller from my Android phone, it does not find my Sonos network. Well I'm pretty sure it's because the Sonos network is on 192.168.128.0 and my Android controller is on 192.168.1.0 and I understand that the Controller must be on the same network as the Sonos players. Further confirmation is that when temporarily switching my phone over to my old wireless network, the Android Sonos controller does find my Sonos network. In my old wireless network, my android phone would reside on the same 192.168.128.0 network along with all my players and it all works like it should.
Question:
Is there any way for the Android Controller to work given the setup described above? Meaning all Sonos players on the 192.168.128.0 network; the Velop primary node on the 192.168.128.0 network; and my Android controller connecting to the Velop mesh network with an IP address of 192.168.1.x.
