I have a modest Sonos system - 4 x Play-1’s.

In April, they were awesome. My office, a paired set on the main floor and a single in the bedroom. Connected to plex, spotify, no problems whatsoever.  

Today - I have all 4 lined up beside me on the desk after literally hours of factory resets, wired vs. wireless connected attempts to set them up over and over. Same wireless hub, same router, same everything. The only difference is the new app, and whatever firmware updates were pushed to my speaker set. I’m quite angry: this is my only speakers for playing music in my house. 
 

Wireless, the app connects to them on their private network, then plays the tones for connecting…. then advises me that while they’ve been added, no playback will be possible before they are attached to the network and set up. FFS.
 

Wired, ethernet connections get a little further: goes thru the entire setup, gets me actually into the app. Try to set up Spotify - gets to authorize (and spotify indeed authorizes it) then… nothing. “something went wrong...” at the top. I try using ‘Sonos Radio” (the only service set up in the app by default)… and again a “something went wrong” banner at the top. So I can either have the app and speaker talking to each other but no music service to pass thru it, or the app sitting at “not connected - add a device”. F this S.   

Am I just an idiot who missed some important instructions on how to make my used-to-work-perfectly system function? Or is it really bricked - $800s of magnetic paperweights?
