I keep getting Sonos streams dropping out. The indirectly encoded steam error and cannot play stream when playing anything - Sonos radio, Spotify, Amazon music etc.

I have have a Ubiquity wireless network with a Ubiquity Dream Machine and I've tried all sorts of tweaks (e.g. changing STP etc.) and I keep thinking I've got it sorted and then the dropouts start again. 

My latest tweak seems to have sorted it so I thought I'd share - I just turned the meshing on the APs off. I realised I don't need meshing as I have 12 APs all hard wired back to the UDM. As soon as I turned it off it had become stable

Just thought I'd share

Not sure why that would make a difference to Sonos, but the definitive document for Uni and Sonos is here:
