Connection Lost to Google and Amazon

I understand what you are saying @ngin, this very specific Sonos update error is very likely directly related to combination of your Eero and that particular Arris Surfboard. 

Upgrading the Arris firmware as the Eero support page suggests should resolve this issue. 

We would be unable to do anything about it since the Eero/Arris equipment combination is what allows or prevents your Sonos system access to both the update servers and the music services servers.

I’m not certain that Arris themselves would be aware of issues occurring downstream with third party equipment but they should be able to help you update the firmware on their modem.

Eero support should be better able to assist you since it is an issue between their routers and that specific Arris product and firmware version.  

Hi Jean. My firmware is updated. I do not have that version of firmware. My version is SB6183-9.2.0.0-GA-04-37-NOSH

Thank you for verifying that for me, @ngin.

If your Surfboard and Eero are not in conflict, the only other source of the issue remains the Ethernet connection between Sonos and the router. 

I know that you changed the cable before but I’m still seeing a flag for a bad cable connection. 

At this point all I can suggest is to change the Ethernet cable,

Un-power your Arris modem and all of your Eero nodes

Unplug all of your Sonos speakers from power. 

Power you network back up starting with the Modem and then the Eero.  

Power the Sonos speaker wired to the router back on.

Try the update one more time. 

If the system still gives you error 30, please reach out to us by phone during the week so that we can assist you live with this. 

Hello,

It seems that the issue may be with specific Sonos units. When I put music on in the Living Room unit, I get the error that the connection is lost. However, when I put the same music on in the Kitchen (a newer unit from March 2019), no connection is lost. The other two units are older - I’m not exactly sure how old but at least 5 years old. Does that help solve this issue?

Hello @ngin,

The strength of the communication between the players and the router will definitely effect these issues. The newer player may able to maintain a stronger network connection than the older players. If you frequently group these together you may want to try playing to the kitchen and then adding living Room and Office to the playback group. It’s likely that you will still get playback errors until the Sonos system update can be completed.   

The Kitchen unit is the farthest from the wifi. The Living Room unit is in the same room as the Eero Gateway, and the Office unit is in the same room as the Beacon. Neither have obstructions. 

If the answer is that I need to update, and the problem is that I cannot update, then what can I do to fix this?

Try temporarily moving the errant speaker closer to your router, and connect it with an Ethernet cable? Once it’s updated, you can then remove the Ethernet cable, and move it back?

I connected the Kitchen unit to the router via Ethernet and still received an error code 30.

Hello @ngin We’re back at square one. 

With update error 30 still in play we will need to keep the Kitchen player temporarily wired, all other Sonos products powered off (unplug both Office and Living Room)

Fully reboot both the Modem and the Eero 

and then with only Kitchen powered on and wired directly to the network start the update process one more time.

If possible, try this update from a different Sonos controller (a different phone tablet or computer)

Please let us know the results, I’m not seeing the “bad ethernet cable” flag in this recent diagnostic so keep it wired as is until the update gets completed.   

I followed your steps. Update still failed with error 30.

And I was mistaken about the age of the Living Room and Office units. They are only 4 or so years old.
