Option to disable built-in WiFi, when Sonos is used as a single device.

I know. That's what I am doing. But this is a tweak, not a usable feature. It should be possible through the controler's interface, without geeky tricks. Actually, if this is possible via customised URLs, it shows it would be a simple option to integrate in the controler's interface... So why not doing it?

I can't venture to say - probably would cause support headaches.  I can't say what the possible implications are ... they probably know a lot more than we do what it effects.

I would probably say the people that purposefully lookup and are knowledgeable enough to figure out how to do it are the only people they would want doing it.

Thank you for the suggestion. This Idea has been discussed in the past and there currently are no immediate plans to implement this functionality but that is not to say that our plans will not change in the future. As with any Idea that is not currently planned, keep voting for your favorites as consensus is a great indicator for our Product team.
I bought my wife a Connect based on it having a simple setup and interface, I have no issue with my Logitech Squeezebox Touch, and find  that I'm having to do more low level stuff with the Connect than I've ever had to do with my Touch. If a simple tweak can turn off the wifi, why won't you consider updating your app to give a switch that submits that tweak? I could see putting it off if it was a complex change but the underlying structure already gives you the capability so why not provide this straightforward change?

Note that the reduced energy consumption also helps to get closer to EU regulations concerning energy efficiency.

I also would like to see a wifi on/off switch in the App. What would be even better is to be able to configure when the wifi is on and when it is off. For example, it should be off automatically after 11pm until 7am.

Chris,
It appears switching the HiFi is not permanent. My understanding is after each power down it reverts back to WiFi

Mike C,
I have one Sonos Play5. I would like to expand on the one devise, but that will not be happening until a user friendly WiFi switch off is available

Do you need to turn on off frequently. You can turn off fairly simple via web browser.

I just bought 6 sonos speakers and am really dissapointed they do not have the obvious and easy to implement function to disable wifi. I would love to see the option to simply turn off wifi for a speaker that is connected through wires, but also the possibility to turn off wifi at night. Cause why keep all that radio on each and every night?

I  am convinced this would bring more buyers (lots of people prefer sleeping in an environment with a little radio as possible: they pout their phones on flight mode and turn off their router or the wifi on their router through a schedule).

I am now looking to see if I can simply put clocks on the power outlets that turns them off at night and on in the morning, but if this doesn't work I will return them.  

I hope you'll consider to add this feature!

Thanks.
