In the most recent S2 12.1 update, we see Sonos supporting 5ghz on various products. What does that mean for existing users? And how will it affect users who incorporate mesh networks at their homes?
Question
Sonos with 5Ghz; what does that brings?

Home theatre players (Arc, etc) presumably wouldn’t connect to a router’s 5GHz because the latter would then forcibly determine which -- potentially busy -- channel was used for the HT satellites. There’s only one 5GHz radio in the HT master. Sonos would thus be at the mercy of the router’s 5GHz channel selection and couldn’t auto-select the optimum channel to maintain the low-latency bond to the HT satellites.
This all makes sense. Seems like this should be user selected because not everyone uses their devices with satellites but oh well.
Hey Sonos people what’s the deal with the Port? Is anyone from Sonos home?
I’d assume they just operate in the same manner as the Move when connected to a 5Ghz signal. Still groupable, no real difference from a controller perspective, they just happen to be on a difference channel.
So how do you switch from 2.4ghz to 5ghz?
I have separate bands in my network.
Do I just run the wireless setup again via the app.
