Upgraded to Windows 11, Sonos can't be found

I updated my Lenovo laptop to Windows 11, and now Sonos won’t connect. I have Sonos One. I did all the suggested steps (turning wifi off/on, restarting laptop, unplugging router/plugging back in, powering down Sonos speakers/powering back up), but no luck. Sonos is an allowed app through my Avast firewall.

I have repeated the above steps several times. Any ideas? Thank you.

Mark your wifi as Private. It will default to Public after a fresh OS installation, which will not work with Sonos.

Avast will make this more complicated, I suggest disabling Avast until you get it working “clean”, then ensure Avast considers your network as Trusted.
