Grouping rooms for simultaneous streaming

Using the App, I can see all rooms and stream to each of them individually. When I try to "join" them via the App they immediately ungroup back to single rooms and only the first room plays music. I used to be able to achieve all this via wifi but a new provider and router has made connecting by wifi impossible. I have joined all via ethernet and all speakers have been assigned IP addresses via DHCP

Each room has a network switch between the router and the speakers

I don't think the Android app shows the 16.4.2 number, or I just can't see it

 Weird Sonos would not show the version number in Android.  Of course the “build” should tell the story.

All good now, found the App for Android >System>Manage showed on set of speakers had not updated. Forced update and all works.

    It's been a wild ride, New router Amazon Eero 6+. Tried changing wifi6 to legacy mode, restricted to 2.4

    GHZ couldn't update network. So I connected all speakers with ethernet.. IPs assigned by DHCP by router... was headed towards static IP but tried the update route first and all works. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Looks like I've given away my age in the screen shot. I the meantime I've removed the old ghost wifi network from my Sonos System.... may even try going back to wifi setup over the next few days but I was sweating on tonight's dinner party. I'll leave the ethernet setup until I have a day to waste in the future.

    The static/reserved IP addresses do solve a number of issues that only impact a few Sonos users. If things get odd, particularly at power-cycles or updates putting them in is the best starting point.
