I have two wifi networks, a 2.4ghz and a 5ghz.
I connected the system a month or so ago and everything worked fine, now it cant find the system unless i change my wifi on my phone from 5g to 2.4g network.

I have used sonos for years but i moved to a new apartment with a new router a month ago. It hasnt been a issue before.

The connection is good, I have full bars on 5ghz all over the apartment so im not sure what’s going on?

I can connect to the speakers on spotify on my mac which is on 5g but not on my phone.

Thanks for the help, I managed to fix the issue. I flashed my router with the Malin firmware and I set manually the 5GHz channel to 44 and now I can see all my sonos devises from the 5GHz even if they are connected on the 2.4GHz.
