I moved and now I cannot access any of my devices. When I hard reset them to add them it says I have to do a software update but I have to sign in as the system owner. I am the system owner?! This has been a very frustrating experience and based on messaged I have found online no one has an answer. Not sure why such a hefty price tag if the app is so difficult, especially for moving to a new house.

        Same problem, app is unsable. Good luck with support, I’ve been trying to get my amps returned for 4+ months, support is absolutely terrible.

        I had the same problem and Johnewa’s solution worked for me.

        The issue is as simple as the network protocol you are using.

        Sonos is not working well with 5 Ghz networks. Just connect your mobile device to a 2,4 Ghz and add your Sonos devices to the 2,4 Ghz networks. It will work perfectly.

        I am actually running a separate 2,4 Ghz hotspot connected to the main router to operate the Sonos system. Only for that.

        Had the same issues after changing wifi services and then trying to reset from my iphone.

         

        I then logged on from the clunky Windows app and completed all updates. Solved the update issue also allowed connection to IOS.
