Rollout of "Disable SonosNet" feature - completion date?

The reference was from the support info page, and also the Sonos Network Best Practices, co authored by Sonos network engineers, both in the above link. I still refer to any Sonos Network created by Sonos devices as a ‘SonosNet’.

The angels may care if the flying figs invade their dance floor?

I don't have links to the actual posts so to keep some folks happy please consider this anecdotal.

I think I recall (but without links I'm sure I am wrong) that the download window for auto-updates was two weeks. There are ways to force that process earlier. 

Once downloaded unsubstantiated rumor (since I'm not posting links to it) has it the features are unlocked and made available over a second two week (from the original update availibility)  window.

Quite frustrating, reminds me of childhood Christmases where I knew what was in my present but dare not open it early, wasn't even allowed to shake the box.

Its worth remembering ‘a watched kettle never boils’

99% of users wont even know about the updates, they are just auto updating. For the small percentage of impatient users reminiscing of previous Christmases and/or staring at kettles, maybe a flag in the App could be toggled ‘Early Adopter’, if enabled Optimizely could consider a user with this enabled, the user is prioritised in queue, if other pre reqs. are met.

Even better than my "improved pot watching" suggestion.

​@LunchMunch Complaints about Sonos’ service can be made without using (partial, OK) names. If deemed necessary Sonos can look up who helped you.

From your post it does seem your question was read poorly.

In the context of Sonosnet being the mesh created automatically between speakers, once one of them is connected to ethernet (and no home theatre /stereo ‘complications’), does the new option basically mean you can keep one plugged in to ethernet - but still disable Sonosnet and that speaker will maintain its ethernet connection, but all the others will switch over and connect directly to WiFi and not communicate directly to each other?  You could potentially connect others to ethernet too, and they'd be direct router connections too.  Yes? 

I have three soundbars connected to Ethernet with Sonosnet disabled and all my other non-surround/Sub Sonos are still connected to my Wi-Fi. 

With the Sonosnet disabled the Subs and surrounds still connect to the soundbars, unlike the disable Wi-Fi option.

Yes. The sole reason for the new feature.

If only they released this feature 10 years ago, would have saved so much hassle and headache

These extreme measures finally caused the option to disable SonosNet to show up for me.

• Switch hard-wired solo Play:5 to wifi (enable wifi), so that a reset would work on it.
• Forget system in Sonos app.
• Logout out of app on iPhone. (I had already removed it from my iPad and from SO’s devices.)
• Delete app.
• Remove all speakers from Apple Home.
• Remove Sonos integration in Home Assistant. 
• Reset all my 9 speakers.
• Download Sonos app.
• Create a new account for Sonos app and login.
• Add all speakers back and re-tune.

Voila! The option to disable SonosNet appeared magically. Who knows which of the above steps did the trick (or maybe it was just my turn to get the option)? 😂

This feature is a game-changer. Thanks, Sonos, for implementing it.

PS: I had been meaning to do a full reset of my system for some time, just to clear out the cobwebs, and this was the push I needed to do it.
