I’ve been using Sonos and controlling it from my phone for over 1 year. last week I receive a “netwrok problem detected” error when “I sign in to use new features” on the bar at the top of the app or when I check for updates in system updates. I run an iPhone XR with iOS 13.2. The Sonos is up to date. The Sonos app runs correctly from other iPhones in my house.
Had the same problem with a new business iphone and upgraded to 13.2.2 and problem was still there. I deleted the Cisco security app like others and everything works now. Also noticed that when trying to Browse music, the only icon showing was Radio by Tunein. Amazon Music, Apple Music, SoundCloud and Spotify were all empty square icons so somehow the Cisco app is blocking access to music services
Thanks 78cdu - I had the same network problem and I deleted the Cisco security app - problem solved. Remains to see what my company’s IT security people think ;-)
Here the same issue as mentioned below with a business Iphone7. Updated IOS to 13.2.3 but still not solved. So far i can see no Cisco security app. Somebody have a great idea??

What do you do if you do not have the Cisco App and you are still getting the message “Network Problem Detected”? #PleaseHelp
I am soooooo glad I just had a look at this THANKYOU! I posted a thread a few hours ago after trying to sign in after getting a new android device Here only to be confronted with not being able to sign on, mentioning the DNS request made me realised I had cloud flares 1.1.1.1 app running disabled the VPN and BAM the window loaded first time! This definitely by what I can see to be a dns problem not sure why it would cause this behaviour though, I'm no iOS expert but maybe the new update changed network settings? Check and see if you are using a vpn would be my first thought. I will be updating my own post linking to this thread incase it is indeed the same issue that I was having
Talked to Sonos support, although they didn’t find the issue until I came across this thread and saw the comment about Cisco Security Connector. With this information we were able to determine what the issue is as all my Apple devices connect as expected except for my 2 work devices which have the CSC (Cisco Security Connector) installed.
The Sonos Support person did find this bit of info on how to get further resolution from Cisco (unfortunately the iOS upgrade to 13.2.3 didn’t work)… Go to this link for Sonos and the Cisco Security Connector (CSC) for iOS (same link from IanHenry above):
I’m waiting now to hear back from Cisco on this matter.
Just wanted to say that on an iphone X on a network which has ipv6 as well the same issue occured.
When I disabled the ipv6 DNS the message went away
How frustrating that must have been! My previous company required a ‘profile’ be installed on all devices that could connect to the email servers. What they didn’t explain was that ‘profile’ included a VPN, which took me a while to figure out, so I feel your pain.
I have the same problem. I have two Sound 1 speakers playing in stereo. I was controlling them via a Pixel 2 XL. Last week everything worked perfectly. This weekend, all of a sudden certain services are not available on the phone controller. There is a message about signing in but when I try to do so I get a “Network problem detected” message. I have a router for internet and two range extenders, one on each floor of my house. The basement extender is hardwired to the router. The upstairs is linked to the basement extender via wifi. I have rebooted everything - router, extenders, speakers, phone. I still get the message. I can easily control the speakers from the controller on my laptop, including insuring I am signed in there. All services are available on the laptop controller. But on the phone, no luck. However, when I change stations from the laptop controller, the change is reflected on my phone. Any help appreciated.
Hi,
i have read through the whole of this topic as I had exactly the same problem causing me no end of confusion. Then I saw the dreaded VPN word and realised this was what was causing the issue.
i use Norton secure VPN. Norton keep telling me to enable it so I did but it causes a LOT of issues with many apps including my sonos.
so, what’s the point of personal VPN on my iPad if it causes apps to fail or not work properly?
thanks to all in this forum for solving my issue quicker than I would have otherwise.
Wouldn’t it be nice if Sonos took this problem seriously? I’ve been torched with the same issue for several months now, no resolution at hand.
The music services and sign-on refuses to work on my iOS device (iphone Xs iOS 13.3.1). Windows controller works fine. Using a visitors iOS device works fine. So obviously the problem resides on my device itself, but nobody has been able to pinpoint it, including Sonos Support.
Yes Cisco Security is installed but only Umbrella which should not be the issue (have also tried removing it, to confirm that). Furthermore I don’t use a VPN on my device in general, so that doesnt seem to be the issue either.
Fresh ideas appreciated!
Glad I found this. I have a business phone with Cisco on it.
Luckily I have an iPad so not an issue.
