Feature request: support RSTP

Given the recent disasterous software revamp, will Sonos now start to listen more to customers and their feature requests, specifically support for RSTP? Or will we continue to hear that Sonos doesn’t comment on roadmap?

Doesn’t WM: 3 only apply to the Era line?

It applies to my pair of Symfonisk Bookshelf Gen 1

Anyways, have a look at this thread. It's just an example of many:

You can call me old-school, but it won't stop me of wiring everything I can and avoiding 2.4Ghz like the plague.

Replied to that one, possible network issue with Asus routers, unless they also have leaky microwaves.

Hi @furacaopr

The WM codes are not yet supported by the new Sonos app, so it’s safe to read that as being inaccurate. WM3 is for speakers that cannot connect to SonosNet connecting to the variant of SonosNet that surrounds use. Only Era 100 and Era 300 speakers would accurately show WM3.

I hope this helps.

Yes we have reached an agreement. I agree your wife's use of the Microwave may affect wireless streaming to your soundbar. I agree wire APs if possible. I don’t agree with the statement of wiring everything, this is not practicable for the vast majority of people that buy wireless devices.

My test with microwave was extreme, I used an Amp that is furthest from AP, as group coordinator to other devices capable of streaming Apple 48/24 lossless, yes it did drop sound, it recovered.

If it was me I would look at using the cable you have for soundbar and use for an additional AP, if there is interference in that area from microwave.

You know that when I mentioned my wife using the microwave it was supposed to be just a funny reply to you 🤣. I don't have real issues with that, but as I mentioned, I try to keep away from 2.4Ghz, as I know it is subject to interference, not only from microwaves, but from cordless phones, garage door opener remotes, baby monitors, Bluetooth, etc. And, yes, it's impractical to wire everything and that's why we invest in mesh Wi-Fi. But, try to keep it at 5Ghz or 6Ghz, as much as you can.

BTW, I have a printer without Ethernet port and it only connects on 2.4Ghz 😭😭😭
