Sonos is a huge disapointment

We bought 3 Era 100 for a Pilates studio - at first they seemed to work well, but now, after roughly 4 months,  every teacher has issues connecting, including me. I had to register the sonos speakers AGAIN - but it only temporarly helped and only worked for my device. Something seems to be completely off. Sometimes the music just stops in the middle of a sessions. We connect via Wifi, which is stable and fast. But crazy enough, even bluetooth does not connect!

It is a huge pain. Other people, including clients, tell me they have the same issues with Sonos. Even before I bought them one other studio owner was warning me about them… I wish I would have followed her advice.


I honesty just want to return them.

Human bodies are a great device for blocking wifi signals. A wired setup would work far better. 
 

A system that did work but now doesn’t is probably experiencing wifi interference, which can be caused by a number of factors. Environments change, unfortunately, and so does wifi reliability. And the demands that Sonos makes of a network - to provide a continuous stream of synchronised data - is far greater than, say, sending a file to a printer.

You could get adapters and wire your Eras or go with the Pro version intended for your situation.

Getting them to work wireless is also an option but likely not your optimum solution.
