Hello,
I have a network setup, where I have a Zyxel modem connected to the ISP, with 2 WiFi APs connected in LAN ports, and an ethernet switch connected to a LAN port directly in the modem as well. The ethernet switch connects the rest of the wired devices in the house.
When I wire my Sonos Beam, it creates the SonosNet mesh and the rest of the speakers connects to this, everything looks fine. After the Sonos has been connected and everything is set up, random disconnects starts happening on my network. Every device connected through the switch loses connectivity to the modem. The devices connected through the switch still has connectivity between them, but the modem seems to have dropped off the network. The WiFi APs are still online with connection to the internet though, so I know the modem is still online. And the switch is working since the devices connected can still ping other devices on the IP they had before the modem dropped.
When I remove the ethernet cable from the Sonos Beam, the network drops stops happening.
Without the SonosNet, I’m having problems pairing devices when they are not connected to the same AP. If I’m in one end of the house, I will see the Sonos devices nearest me. When I walk the the other end they drop out and the others appear. Pairing between them is almost impossible. This problem disappears when using SonosNet, but then the network disconnects happens.
Any help would be appreciated.
