Permanently Disable SonosNet on S1 systems
I have about 15 sonos devices in my system, mostly Play1’s, a Play5, and several connect:amps. Because of their age, I have to keep them on S1, which has been totally fine.
What kills me though is SonosNet. There are a large number of nearby WAPs, and using SonosNet is just a disaster. I’d love to connect everything via ethernet, but it is just not practical. So, wireless it is. I’ve created a separate 2.4Ghz only wifi network for the sonos system and have it VLAN tagged so their IP addresses are in a range distinct from everything else. Works great, except when it doesn’t.
A couple times a year we find sonos components disappearing off the system, playback being flaky, interrupted, etc. And, sometimes our entire wifi network just goes tits up. When this happens, I usually find that some of the sonos components have turned their SonosNet back on and somehow or another are creating massive packet collisions on the network. So, then I have to go through the annoying process of reconfiguring those components to use the network I’ve made for them. I can usually identify the culprits because their IP is not from the range that my SONOS VLAN is supposed to use.
Still, I think it would awesome if there was a way to permanently disable SonosNet on componenents
