Which Speaker to Group on?
Does it matter what speaker I group on?
I've got 5 zones and a connect, which is plugged into the router. Very often, I want to play the same thing on all speakers, so when I group I use the same speaker as the one I group on. But I also know that the interference around some of my speakers is greater than others.
I've reduced my dropouts significantly but would like to eliminate them completely.
So should I be more discerning about the lead speaker?

Correct.
I thought that might have been the best solution and have been doing that for the last couple of days. Haven't had any dropouts, but that only tends to happen at weekends, when I'm assuming that there are more neighbours around regularly creating more local interference!!!!
There's nothing to stop you trying different SonosNet channels if the problem strikes again. Despite conventional wisdom that the router and Sonos should occupy different channels (at least 5 numbers apart), sometimes sharing a common channel weaves the best course through interference from neighbours.
