Simple ? - How to turn off

Had my new Sonos for 2 days . . . exceeds expectations! But how do I turn off? It seems just pausing music or muting is not the same. Am I being too old fashion/analog?

Cannot Setup Sonos on Xfinity Wifi — Ridiculous

Just switched to Xfinity for better bandwidth and Sonos does not work with their Xfi wireless router cable modem. I cannot even get through the set up. The SONOS wifi network never shows up during set up, have updated everything SW wise. I have like $4K of Sonos gear and can’t use it. Sonos doesnt answer their phone. Is someone going to help here ? My only other option is to sell everything at a huge loss and spend the rest of my life telling this story that is not pretty.

Deleting Speakers

How do I just remove a speaker from a room? Want to start another room and have it there. Somehow got 2 Playbars in one room! Seems that anyone would have a question like this when setting up multiple rooms. But nothing there when searching.

Hi, is there any way to look at log/event files of some type for Sonos? I am not having a problem but curious. I can't seem to find any beyond what is on the About Sonus page. -Bob

Sonos connects but the App will not play any music

My Sonos app is connecting to the internet and connecting to my home Sonos system, but nothing will play. This is the first time I have ever experienced this problem in 3 years of using Sonos. When I pick an artist or a song on Pandora, Apple Music, or Spotify, the app is displaying one of two options. Option 1 - Add Station to My Sonos - More OR - Remove from My Sonos - More If I select Add Station to My Sonos, and then go to the My Sonos section, the only option available to me is: - Remove from My Sonos What in the world is going on with this App. This happened out of the blue after the system working normally for 3 years. I am connected to my home wifi network, which is connected to sonos, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to play a song. I have tired connecting through the Sonos App, and connecting through the Spotify App, which normally will let you play a song on Sonos within Spotify.

How to "move" a speaker in the iOS app?

I've combed through piles of questions and answers here, but I don't see answers to the seemingly simple issue of moving a speaker from one room to another within the app. My specific situation: I have a Play 5 and a Play 1 in the same physical room (my living room), but they are currently in different "rooms" when viewed in the app. I want both speakers to be in the same physical room and the same "room" within the app. How do I do this? If you're reading this Sonos Team, your onboarding sequence is absolutely maddening. Here's what it looked like for me: 1) Got a Play 5. Got it set up no problem. Woo! 2) Weeks later, I got a Play 1. The plan is to add this speaker to the same physical room as the Play 5. 3) Earlier tonight I unboxed and ran the setup sequence on iOS to add the Play 1. 4) It gets to the point where it asks me to choose a room for the Play 1. I can't remember what room name the Play 5 is assigned to, so I make a guess about which room to add the Play 1 to. (I
