SONOSNET - can't view it from my android device.

Thanks for this, I've tried all of this and then gone into wifi and refreshed it (on the android device) and there is still no sign of anything sonos related !!

Any further ideas please ?

There is however now a few Vmxxxxx-2G and VM8484443 Numbers - networks attached.

Those sounds like a neighbour, with a Virgin Media router.

Sonos IDs are of the form "Sonos_xxxx" where xxxx is a long string of letters and numbers. On earlier systems the ID is "HHID_xxxx".

Are you running any kind of security software on the Nexus tablet?

That would make sense as I am in a four storey town house with neighbours in close vicinity.

I don't believe I am.

I only use it for sonos so I have the "target home launcher" app set up so that everytime you turn the android tablet app on it runs sonos application.

Thanks

"I don't believe I am" - was in reference to the security software question.

I'm not sure why this would make any difference. However I suggest you temporarily disable and remove it. See if running the Sonos app in the usual way and then disabling/enabling SonosNet connection is successful in creating the SSID entry in WiFi settings.

You do know that you can simply pin the Sonos app, which means that the tablet will always show it (until unlocked)?

I have removed both and subsequently uninstalled both apps and then just rr-installed the sonos one. When I went to the about system piece I noticed that one of the sonos amps was not showing as WM:0. I have subsequently reinstalled this and now it does show as WM:0. interestingly the controller doesn't show as WM:0 in the about system data. Should it ?

How do you pin an app please ?

I have an iMac and a iPhone and an iPad also controlling the system. Would this mess things up ?

Was it showing WM:1? In that case get them all showing WM:0 and go to Advanced Settings/Wireless Setup and remove ('reset') the WiFi details there.

interestingly the controller doesn't show as WM:0 in the about system data. Should it ?

No, just the hardware units.

How do you pin an app please ?
Enable screen pinning in Android Settings/Security. Then when you tap the recent apps (overview) button you should see a drawing pin icon on each running app.

No.

It wasn't showing any details but is definitely now.

I've done what you said but still can't see the sonosnet in the wifi details box. Very frustrating.

I've even gone into wifi advance settings on the android device and changed the settings in there. wifi frequency band is now on automatic. turned off the "let a wifi assistant connect to open networks determined to be higher quality"
