Sonos One disconnecting from WiFI

Thanks for the report. There’s not much information there as your controller is not connected to your speaker. This can happen for various reasons. Please follow the steps in this guide, which covers the most common causes of this type of issue. 

If that doesn’t help, it would be a good idea to troubleshoot this live with our phone team. You can find our number and hours here.

Hi there,

In your report I see that your Android is not connected to your speaker. This guide should help you get reconnected. If that doesn’t do the trick, it may be best to work with our phone team as they have more tools available and can troubleshoot live. Our number can be found here.

Same issue. I have all my speakers on reserved leases. Diagnostic 1588144545

Same problem for me. I spent 3 months with the support team and changed the speaker once. It did not help. The solution was to get rid of the One, which is, said the support team, very sensitive (unstable) in term of network connection. 
Hopefully all my other speakers, Play 1, 3 and 5 don’t face any problem.

Unfortunately Sonos does not want to officially acknowledge there is a problem with their One speaker. Until the issue - hardware or software- is not solve, people will always have problems. 

My personal experience has been somewhat different.

I have a remote (add-on) utility room (extension) near to my rear garden area that’s a good forty feet away from my front room based netgear router and Sonos Boost. In-between the Boost and utility, there are two breeze-block walls and an outer insulated brick wall and my Sonos One’s in the utility communicate just fine directly back to my Sonos Boost. I can’t say I have ever had any issues with the Sonos One Speakers.

The Sonos Move speaker that I sometimes take into the rear garden and place on the patio table also works equally well.

Perhaps you live in a rather unique environment that has some kind of WiFi interference?

Anyhow, I was certainly that impressed, that I have just purchased the Sonos One SL from a local store (John Lewis) and added that to my Sonos account two days ago and so far that’s working okay here too.

So it seems each of our experiences of the Sonos One Speaker is rather different and very much poles apart.

WiFi interference? This is the magic word used by Sonos support - an easy copy/paste, just look at the answers, they just look the same - who are in my humble opinion far from being network specialists. 

Strangely I never had any issue or interferences before and suddenly I’ll be unlucky? 

It is the same problem with the Bluetooth issue on the iPhone 11. On Apple forums thousand of people are complaining about disconnections.
Personally I don’t have any problem. However it does not mean there is no problem with the iPhone 11. Apple is known to always wait for a class action or bad press to acknowledge a problem. A criteria of some arrogant companies that think their products are excellent and only the user is the problem. 

My Sonos one and beam work great for a limited time then they appear as offline. They seem to be losing their wifi connection. If I reboot my wifi router, it starts working again for about 15-30 mins then goes offline. If I wait long enough (30-60mins) it’ll come back online for another 15mins then go offline again. All speakers are in the same room within 15 feet of my router.

That diagnostic is only showing the controller, so the two devices had dropped by then. Generally speaking, I’d start with trying to change your router’s wireless channel. Also, in case it’s an issue with the router’s wireless, are you able to try wiring one of your Sonos devices into the network? If you can, than you’d be seeing if the SonosNet is performing better than your router’s wireless.

Bruno92,

Not sure why you’ve posted the same post twice, but just to say I don’t have the iPhone 11, but do use the iPhone XR and iPad with iOS 13.3 and those devices are working fine here with the 'Move’ Bluetooth etc.

Wifi interference issues? ... I have 20+ Sonos devices about the Home and have chosen to run them on the Sonos STP wireless protocol. Some strategic devices are wired to reduce interference that appears around the units in the Sonos Network Matrix, but most run on a wireless signal. 

I have set the SonosNet channel to sit 5+ channels away from the routers non-overlapping 2.4ghz chosen channel, which I fixed, post WifiInfoView scan of my locality, as it’s nice/helpful to understand the neighbouring channels that exist from the neighbours. Note these will change, from time to time, as neighbours do like to reboot their auto-channel-selecting WiFi routers. 

Wifi credentials are not stored in my Sonos App (Network/Wireless Setup), as recommended by the members in this community and I have placed the Sonos ‘Moves’ onto my 5ghz WiFi Band to prevent fallback to 'mixed mode', which those speakers may allow, as they are unable to run on SonosNet (which is obviously a good thing for all moveable nodes accessible in an STP environment).

The other thing I have done to improve stability, is to set the IP addresses of all Sonos Products as ‘Reserved’ in the main routers DHCP Reservation Table and personally chosen to set them high up in the subnet, in sequence, just to keep things tidy and out the way of other devices.

My Sonos matrix connections are all showing green connections between the SonosNet STP connections and that shows that interference in/around and also between the products is minimal and so all are in good shape.

All access points wired and wireless, around the home, are compatible with Sonos and I have set them all to the same SSID’s and 'fixed' WiFi channels as the main router to assist with the mDNS multicast packet communication.

I tend to run most non-Sonos products on the 5ghz band where practical and ensure there is good distance between Wireless enabled products.

Of course many folk don’t go to such an extent to reduce there own WiFi interference for Sonos purposes and are often quite happy that their home non-Sonos wireless network devices have good access to the internet and they think that’s all there is to it, but in fact the notion that everything else is working fine on a home Network has nothing at all to do with the WiFi interference that Sonos Staff, or the community members here often talk about.

There is plenty of good advice from both the Staff and experienced members in this community here and it’s quite easy to follow their advice if you can find a bit of 'downtime' to read those things. I have learned a lot myself from reading many of the often highlighted threads here ...and for a good number of years now, my fairly large Sonos system has remained extremely stable and trouble-free.
