How can an audio system that sounds so great have the primary method to manage this system on a mobile app that NEVER works.

My app will not:

stay connected to my wifi that is never down
remember any of the systems I set up
remember any of the devices I set up
can rarely FIND my devices I’ve had in my home for years

It has NEVER worked for any reasonable amount of time. Extremely frustrating. I really regret investing in so many Sonos devices.

“Granted, moving all your family’s devices off of Xfinity Wi-Fi and onto Google Mesh Wi-Fi is a PITA.”

This is what made me put on the breaks.. lol. We have at least 50 devices / smart home, etc.

But what i didn’t realize is that Google Mesh and XFinity were two separate things. I like your idea of gradually moving everything over to Mesh first, then turning the bridge on when nobody is home.

One thing that MAY work and save a lot of hassle. Enable bridge mode on the Xafinity router. Change the Google WiFI SSID and paasword to be identical to those of your Xafinity router. Retire to a safe distance.

Not “things”. Networks.

Once you are 100% sure what the problem isn’t you are likely best of calling Sonos Support and having them sort out the issue.
