I can live with using the iPad but would prefer to use my iPhone to control my Sonos system. I wonder if anyone knows of a fix?

Chris in Cleeve,
Your SONOS system, because of the wired network connnection to PLAYBAR, is operating in SonosNet mode. SonosNet ignores WiFi and WiFi ignores SonosNet. However, it is best to use separate channels for WiFi and SonosNet. Use channel 1, 6, or 11 for WiFi, don’t use “Auto”. And use 20MHz channels for WiFi.
If your router supports the feature, “Reserve” or “Fix” the IP address of all known clients that regularly use the network. IP addresses are “leased” for a period of time, often 24 hours or a week. As leases expire, clients return to the router and “renew” their lease. Think of this as giving certain clients a ‘VIP’ status to always renew at the reserved address. During a power failure the router forgets all of the leases. This is not a problem for the reserved clients, but the restarted router might give out an address duplicating a nonreserved client lease that has not yet expired. You can imagine the confusion when there are duplicates -- “Where is my order”, “I didn’t order that”, “No reply, must not be home”, etc. The human can be very confused over this chaos because “it never happened before” and and a day or two later everything seems to be working OK. (As the leases are renewed -- although this is not guarenteed)
Reconfiguring your router will reduce the risk of similar midadventures in the future.
