    Hi User378933,

    Is your system not allowing you to change the speaker name or unable to find the option?

    If the system is not allowing the room name to be changed this is normally due to wifi interference.
    Would you mind submitting a diagnostic and replying with the confirmation number.
    Here is a FAQ showing you how to submit a system diagnostic

    Let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,
    Max

    Well, I'm not sure about the profile name. To change the speaker/Room name, go to Settings->Room Settings->(Room name)->Room Name and edit the Room Name.

    Note, if this function is not available, then you probably joined the beta and are using an iOS device. As stated in the beta announcement, iOS devices are not included in beta, and will lose some features if you load the beta firmware to your Sonos system. So to edit a room, use another Controller type (Android/PC/Mac) or remove yourself from the beta and update to get these features back.

    If you have no room settings then either the controller version is out of step with the player firmware, or you're using a 'partially supported' operating system. What device are you using, and what operating system?
