EVERY TIME I want to play music I have to got to the living room; switch the plug on and off on the Playbar ( also added unplugging & plugging in the Ethernet too which I feel has slightly better success rate when combined with the switch on and off!).

Tried everything I feel; firmware, I’ve taken the switch I had out my network; I’ve removed my second router from network; I’ve made sure 2g and 5g are same name; reset the virgin WiFi hub fully, made sure no guest network enabled… still every time… such an pain to listen to music; thought Sonos was supposed to be easy, clearly I’m not the only one with these issues, as seems a frequent topic but think I’ve tried the suggested solutions. I don’t have any issues with anything else connected in the house and have 250Mbs connection.

More random, sometimes days, sometime hours.  I’ve plugged a play 1 in anyway, will see how it goes & update

Hi

The system continues to work with the play1 connected to Ethernet, so must be a fault with the Playbar, which unfortunately will be out of warranty.

So that’s 2 of my 4 devices which have had failed connectivity (plus also the bridge which is no longer compatible with the software); not great really.

Thanks for the help tracking down the issue though John, much appreciated!

It hasn't been the best.of experiences for you that's for sure. I'm glad you now have a stable, working system again.

Thanks, yes think I will run an Ethernet connector via a plug socket adaptor, to where the play 5 is, should work & have all the speakers back in position!
