We have Sonos in our workplace. We have 4 connects wired to an amp feeding multiple speakers.

We have 6 Play:1's, and 3 boosts.



We have taken all devices off the wired network and only have the Boosts wired with everything on Sonosnet.



The noise level is terrible but we have gotten things stabilized minus a connect which is 3 feet away from a boost. It keeps dropping off completely, or saying list connection to Apple or spotify or whatever. Or it will state there is insufficient network speed to maintain playback. We have a 200 MB DIA circuit. The boosts are plugged into cisco switches with the Guard turned off on the 3 ports.

This is becoming a job to maintain music playing at our workplace and a constant area of irritation.



The device with the most problems is below.

Since everything is running on Sonosnet and getting signal from the boosts, why can the sonos network mesh not handle basic streaming or group play.





Just dropped off completely.

Thanks for sending in the report. There's quite a bit of wireless interference from nearby networks. This is likely the cause of the wireless communication errors showing between your Sonos components. I'd recommend changing the wireless channel your Sonos system is using to 11, which seems a bit less crowded. Also, Make take a look around your speakers and Boosts to see if any third party electronics are nearby that can be moved away.
Thanks you for the response and going to try that out today. There is tons of noise, other wifi networks, wireless printers, headsets, mobile devices, etc.



Again Thank You and will follow up with results.
