Recently moved to a new home and have Xfinity XB7 Xfi - Previous system was the Sonos 1 Controller and had lots of issues…. my bridge, Play1, Play3, and Play5 all worked for ONE DAY ! The next day I could not see any of the Sonos speakers in the app. After rebooting the router, they all came back but would disappear daily !!! I could not keep rebooting the router every day just to listen to music….. thats just stupid. After calling support, they had me remove the bridge as it was no longer needed. (It had been over 2 years since my system had been set up and working on an ATT router…..which BTW I NEVER had any problems with. Unfortunately ATT fiber is not available in this area yet, and their internet speeds available in this area are slow so I was forced to go with Xfinity.) After hardwiring each of the speakers to my router and then placing them in the rooms I wanted them, the Sonos controller could see all 3 speakers, play different music on each at the same time, group them all as one, etc etc. Well the next day, the controller app couldnt see anything again. So I dutifully went thru the whole process again only to have it work for a couple of hours. The XB7 router listed all the devices, I had even assigned them to the 2.4ghz “Guest” network, but nothing would work. So I ripped it all out, reset all the speakers to factory defaults…….. and then the new equipment I ordered showed up ! Knowing my Play5 gen 1 is basically worthless with all the other new equipment I decided to look here for known problems with the XB7 router. And apparently a lot of people are having some sort of issue with this router. Needless to say I'm a little gun shy to try and set up the new stuff only to get aggravated and ship it all back !
So has this been resolved ? If so what is the fix ? Should I just go out and buy my own router ??
Someone please save me from reinventing the wheel ???
Thanks !
