Network dropout on SONOS Connect when using Line-In
Hi all
I have a Connect that is connected to my HiFi. I also have a variety of 1s and 3s scattered around the house. If I use my Android controller to select radio or music from my library or phone, all speakers seem to play very well, uninterrupted, fairly indefinitely. However, if I try and use the Line-In on the Connect, the whole system drops out. All speakers stop except the Connect and I cannot connect to the Connect (jeez!) with the Sonos Controller on my phone. Eventually, the Connect also stops playing. I then usually need to wait a significant length of time (tens of minutes) before the Connect is accessible again (unless I power cycle it).
Is this something that's been seen before? Does it sound like the Connect is faulty? It is about 2 meters away from the wireless router - could it still be network/signal strength issues?
Thanks for any advice all, bit disappointing I can't use the Line-In on the Connect - it's one of the reasons I purchased it.

yea sounds like your wifi at home is having trouble with the stream.
I would use Sonosnet instead of your home wifi by hooking 1 sonos unit to your router (and setting channel for a different of 1, 6, 11 than your router).
With Sonosnet your speakers can communicate with each other instead of routing all through your home router. I always say this is best in most cases when someone has more than 2 Sonos units.
