Password Protect Sonos?

Sonos very rarely comment that they "will" or "won't" do anything. Their product plans are confidential.

I don't see why the landlord would care whether you attached a travel router. To the main router it would behave like any other device. Sure, it could be detected as a router if he wanted, but why bother.

As @ratty says, the travel router just connects to the existing network in the same way as a laptop, phone or Sonos speaker would.

Like I said, I paid a premium price for this so I am expecting sonos to offer an option here inside the system.

This what I have just received from their support: "I appreciate your frustration and comments and in your email and that this has been on our community for a period of time. The community is there to let our program and software developers see how popular a subject and take action where they consider that the request can be added into our app."

So hopefully a software developer picks this up eventually ...

Amazingly I verify what I want a product to do before I make the purchase, not after.

Unfortunately it didn't say on the packaging: "if you live in a shared house you won't be able to stop your house mates from messing with your music". I don't think we are talking about rocket science here. But we might never find out unless Sonos put out a statement.

Why do you even care anyway if this is a problem between me/ many other users and sonos?

I think you'd have to look hard to find products which advertise all the things they don't do.

A shared network is, by definition, insecure in terms of what its other participants may get up to. A network which implements client isolation would overcome this, but stop local applications like Sonos from working.

You've been offered suggestions for how to resolve your situation, by creating your own private off-shoot from the shared network.

Like I said, the landlord doesn't want any messing around with the router and therefore I need a solution inside the system - a simple admin function for example, nothing more.

I think there is just a flaw in the logic of "it cost this much so it should have this particular feature". If you were to add up the cost of every feature that someone on hete has said should be included at the price, the price would be twice as much.

Thete is no messing around with the router. As has been stated you are no more messing around with the router than when you connect your laptop.

A travel router can attach wirelessly.
