There will be an interesting addition to our Apps soon via this latest update - 

We’re rolling out a new WiFi signal strength feature over the coming weeks.

  • When connected to a WiFi network, your Sonos products will now show their WiFi signal strength in the Settings tab of the app.
  • Additionally, you can now find detailed networking information for a Sonos product connected to your WiFi network.

Wonder what the SonosNet products will show? Nothing?

They are rolling that bit out in stages it says - probably like the new search feature which I still don’t have 

Can you have too many Sonos speakers? 🤔 😆

Alexa on Beam v1 is broken after the 15.2 update.  Fed up. Every update destroys my system.

@mhutchz Can I suggest that you open a new thread, as this is completely off topic.  There is a very obvious cause when updates cause system instability. Suffice to say that the update has not caused any issues with my Beam v1.

Thanks @UKMedia 😊 - I did want to keep this thread about the new WiFi signal strength feature which will be rolled out on our apps, and how that will work

@Corry P - when this new feature lands on our devices, if we have SonosNet for some items will this new WiFi signal app feature only show on our WiFi devices?

In my case, it’s only my portable speaks that are not connected via my Boost.

Hi @SarahN 

Yes - signal strength will only be displayed for devices which connect to a router (or Access Point) and not for those configured as Home Theatre Surrounds, Home Theatre Sub or those on SonosNet.

Although, I use sonosnet for every device I can currently, looking forward to this feature.  I have an Eero mesh system and was wondering if I’d be just fine without sonosnet, so this will be good for testing.  I can move some speakers (or all of them) to WiFi and be confident in a strong connection without having to do random sound tests.

Every update kills my entire system. I have been attempting to update to 15.2 for the last 6 hours without success. Tech support is absolutely no help. Feel like a hampster in the proverbial wheel. System is advertised as seamless installation - it is not. When a system forces an update and there is a constant “Update Problem” and the only solution is to “Try Again” there should be a way to rollback. For all the haters and/or Sonos shills I have a very robust Ubiquiti home network and I have reset the router. The system was working fine for months before this update.

Solution is to go and factory reset all 40 of my Sonos products? What kind of system update is this?

Sonos needs to get their act together and not release software that requires an update which you have to reset everything and hope it works????

I can’t tell you how many hours/days I have spent getting a crap system to work. Regret ever making the investment!

Anyone that is thinking of purchasing a wireless system (which isn’t true) should avoid Sonos. Purchase another system. Sonos is very expensive junk.
