Hello forum, I need to set up a Sonos system on a small, but corporate network. We have 4 VLANS.
I would like to isolate the Sonos on lets say it's own VLAN.
The controller/Wifi is set up and the Sonos works fine, but the controller has a DHCP IP: of 10.69.6.56
How can I change this to a static IP of lets say 10.69.5.10
I can ping 10.69.6.56 but there doesn't appear to be web control to it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction if it's possible?
thanks

There is no way to set a static IP on the device itself, because Sonos requires DHCP. However, you can reserve IP addresses in the router's DHCP lease allocation table, rather than making them static on the devices.

Once moved you'll need to move your controllers to the same LAN segment or do some firewall /router tweaking to pass the required Sonos protocols between the two LAN segments.
