Rollout of "Disable SonosNet" feature - completion date?

The new version was only released on 27th May, on a phased rollout. If that rollout is happening over a 30-day period, you may still have a few more weeks to wait. 
 

It would, though, be very helpful for Sonos to indicate a rollout timeframe, on all phased releases. 

No. The term and usage came from a moderator, not a user.

So, without reference to that post, anecdotal... 🤷🏼‍♂️

You do not need to disable SonosNet in order to hardwire you Beam. I had my Playbar hardwired with the Sub and surround wirelessly bonded to it before I got the Arc. And now the Arc is hardwired with the Sub and surrounds bonded to it. I have never experienced connection or buffering issues.

I would say plug the cable into the Beam, but if you are not having any issues, just leave it as is.

Might as well argue about how many angels dance on the head of a pin, it’s about as topical, and the answer is also just as useless.  Mods/users, anecdotal/documented, official decree/unofficial rumor?  Who give a flying fig?  Sonosnet, the mesh network as originally defined back in 2005, and (more importantly) as defined in the newest functionality to “disable Sonosnet” which is the topic of this thread”, is different from the connection to surrounds/subs, period.  

Agreed… They are different protocols but I did not insinuate that they are the same thing.
 

I simply referred to the statement made by OP that he/she has an Ethernet cable waiting to be plugged in if SonosNet can be disabled. 
 

Referencing my own setup is just to show that a wired connection indeed functions correctly with SonosNet running.

My Disable Sonosnet option became available about an hour ago. So did the enhanced connection descriptions in the General / About Your System section. 

Toggled Sonosnet off and waited for it to process. Hooked Ethernet to two of my soundbars, Beam gen 1 and an Arc Ultra. Both showed the new Ethernet connection while the Subs and Surrounds show "Home Theater ..." as the connection type.

Mininal testing as the spouse is sleeping (1:00 AM here) but I'll be able to do more testing later today.

Did I miss that it was a 30-day rollout in the announcement? That is 100% the information I am looking for. I tried asking Sonos Support, and the unhelpful Kenneth Bryan M was quick to send me instructions on how to disable SonosNet. I told him to go back and read my question. 😡

The announcement is here 

Not sure where the 30 days come from, but it seems logical that the roll out would be complete before the next update - updates seem to be on a monthly cycle.

Not very chic to publish names of Sonos employees that might not have understood you right.

Sonos does not provide last names, so Kenneth maintains his anonymity as far as the public is concerned. Here’s the chat transcript. You tell me whether I received excellent support, and whether my question was poorly worded. My opinion is that Kenneth provided poor support, and Sonos needs to know that.

Me: Kenneth, when will the rollout of the feature to
disable SonosNet be complete? I've been waiting
since day 1 of the app update.

Kenneth: Hello D! Thank you for reaching out. I
understand you are experiencing some difficulties
regarding the SonosNet feature, and I want to
assure you that I will do my best to provide clear
guidance and support.

Me: I'm not experiencing any difficulties at all. I want
to know when the rollout to disable SonosNet will
be complete.

Kenneth: 1. Open the Sonos app.
2. Navigate to System Settings > Network > SonosNet, select Disable SonosNet.
3. Follow the in-app steps to complete the process.
