Connection Lost to Google and Amazon

Hello @ngin,

Can  you take a look at your eero app and verify that eero isn’t pausing Sonos devices?

It seems that eero is still somehow blocking our connection to the update server, it’s possible that eero is doing this on it’s own.

Learn about un-pausing here:

https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000231126-How-do-I-resume-internet-for-a-paused-device-  

I don’t believe that’s the issue. There was no pause, according to the help article.

I plugged in the Office unit (along with the Kitchen) and tried to play in the Office. The music didn’t even start to play. The error code said the “connection to Google Play Music was lost.”

Diagnostics: 333847510

Very very very frustrated.

Hello @ngin,

The music playback error is related to the software update error that you are receiving. 

Both of these errors are directly related to your Eero and how it is allowing communication between your Sonos speakers and the music service servers and our update servers.

Eero routers have been know to decide to “pause” or otherwise block communications between our products and the servers on the internet that we need in order to function. I have done everything I can from where I am sitting to help resolve this issue. At this point I would recommend that you reach out to Eero Support directly or to reach out to us by phone to solve this. 

I really do understand your frustration with this situation and hope that Eero will be able to offer you more insight here.  

Hello. Again. As per Eero:

From what Sonos mentioned, it seems that they have seen there are some communications block on there devices, maybe they need to have some port to be open on the network, and this can be easily done from the eero app. If this is the case we only need to know which ports to open and set them on the network.

Is this a possible solution? Can you provide any information/guidance? 

Thanks.

Hi there. I called Eero and we spent a lot of time trying to connect the Sonos units to the network. I then used another wifi router and now Sonos won’t even play without running the update, but can’t run the updated because of Error 30

Please see the summary email that Eero sent me to pass on to you to help fix the problem.

Hi Natali,

Thank you for contacting eero support.

Following up on our recent conversation.

We tried resetting the sonos and setting up on multiple networks, those being the eero network, eero guest network, and the cisco router e2000, and the issue persists where the sonos devices won't update.

Originally one was able to play music but after the reset they seem to be unable to function until they update.

With the issue happening on multiple different networks we would like to have sonos support assist with this issue.

Please keep me updated and I will respond asap.

Best regards,
Marshall

Hello, @ngin.

It looks like they currently have you set up on a different router for now but were otherwise not helpful in this matter.

Can you try the Error 30 resolution steps with with this new set up?

1. Unplug all but one player from power
2. Plug that one player directly into the router
3. Attempt to update/register your single Sonos speaker while all others are not powered on.

Meanwhile, I will be reaching out to you through direct message with additional information about how we can work with you to resolve this situation.  

This happens to me ALL the time. Inconsistent. But seems to be guaranteed when I have a party. When is Sonos going to fix this?Makes me want to sell it all!
