In order to keep the guest network separate from the Sonos network, does connecting a boost solve the problem?

Boost won’t separate anyone from anything. It’s a network bridge device, not a router.

What problem? SONOS players, BOOST, and controllers must be on the same network segment. “Guest” is. a separate network segment that is normally used to allow house guests access to the external Internet, while blocking access to local devices, such as SONOS, computers, thermostats, cameras, etc.

I would have understood the question better if it was worded like this: “Would a guest network work prevent guests accessing Sonos (on Sonosnet or regular wifi)”? The answer would have been a straight “yes”.
