What did work perfect in W10 is not the case in W11. I can’t connect to SONOS. 

 

This is a HP Notebook and the settings done by my company. Meaning, I have restricted access as administrator. So I can’t change the public to Private network.

 

Any other suggestions able to connect please?

How did you even install the Sonos app without Admin privileges?

If you truly cannot mark your Wifi as Private then Sonos will not work, but I have never seen a device that blocks changing the network type. Seems like a security issue if you are NOT allowed to make that change.

Have you tried “Allow an app through the firewall”?
