Question

Sonos will not connect to new router

Sonos recently demonstrated quite the mind of its own, running 2 different tracks on two parts of the system, concurrently, and repeatedly switching from the desired product to another. All annoying but when a new router was required the system would not connect. Even sound professionals have not been able to connect. The average wait time when I call customer service? 84 minutes.

Is anyone having better luck?

We’ll need some details. Describe your network for us (include model numbers). Which SONOS models do you own? Which controllers are you using? Are the SONOS units wired to the network? What error messages?

Sorry- Sonos are not wired. The online only gives the option to add to a new system, not to set up a new system. When the Sonos is wired to either the Tmobile router directly or to eros, the product can never be located

In addition to the Tmobile router you have an Eero mesh system?

Either Eero or T-Mobile must be “Bridged”. Otherwise you’ll have two routers fighting for control — the user loses.

Last I checked, T-Mobile doesn’t support bridge mode consumers. Small business customers get a different gateway that offers more options, including a bridge mode. Have things changed?

I’m not a T-mobile user. Make only one network connection between T-mobile and Eero, then ignore T-mobile’s WiFi. Don’t wire any SONOS units to Eero access points, wire only to the main unit.

Yes, and as you said make sure to put the Eero into access point mode.
