Hi John, Bridges are getting quite old now and as a hub for your system, they are often becoming the weak link in a setup, leading to instability and playback issues.
We are not announcing an end of support for the Bridge at this time but we believe that many of our customers will experience better system performance without the Bridge. Before picking up a Boost, there are several other options for connecting Sonos to your home network here: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3458 which you might want to check out.
I’d recommend setting your Sonos system on the house wireless and see how things perform. These days, most routers are far stronger than the Bridge and using an alternate setup is likely to perform faster and better overall.
nyCecilia, while I appreciate the sentiment, the Bridge holds a critical role in the system, if it’s being used, and we’ve found that overall performance and reliability can be improved in many cases without the Bridge. While the CR100 had similar issues, it played a different role entirely in the system and wasn’t relied on in the same ways. I think we can all agree not to start that conversation up again, as the CR100 was thoroughly discussed in that thread.
