Hi All,



I'm looking for an alternative to a current speaker setup which integrate for work - Clipsal Ceiling Bluetooth speakers. The issue I have is constant dropouts and hardware hangs. Clipsal won't comment on the issue even though we've purchased over 200 speakers via our vendor from them.



I'm looking for alternatives and the Play 1's may be a decent fit for my setup, although, I have questions before I run a test site.



Our sites are early learning schooling sites which have anywhere between 5-10 rooms at each campus. Currently each room has an iPad kiosk which I have connected to a Synology NAS running DSAudio. iPads are connected to the Clipsal Bluetooth Ceiling speakers and audio is pushed from the NAS to the iPad to the Speakers. With the connectivity issues we are experiencing I'm looking for an alternative to bluetooth and the Sonos Play 1 may fit the requirements.



Our environment is the following at each site:

Cisco Meraki APs

HP Aruba POE Switch

Network points in each room



My question's are the following:



1. What is the maximum number of Play 1's which can run over a WiFi network?

2. Can I install all the Play 1's over the Ethernet network as opposed to the WiFi network? and are there any known issues setting up all speakers over the Ethernet network?

3. Are there any know issues connecting multiple Play 1's over a mesh WiFi network?



Thanks for the responses.
