Hi,
Managed to block all updates back in May -24, and still running my 15 devices with the golden S2 16.1 app (Android) and system 16.1.1 on speakers, my Amp and Port. Full wifi setup without Sonosnet, and as Asus routers have a bad rap with Sonos, my AX86U is set to Wifi 5 with QoS disabled, better play it safe. Everything works decently, including Alexa and Sonos Voice. As long as I’m on Android staying with the old app is no problem, on a new phone I can just sideload it.
With the frozen state of the system I haven’t been able to add any new devices, which given my hobbyist knack is getting frustrating. Is the new app (and system) already good enough, so that nice new speakers outweigh the potential hassle with the new software? Or should I just stay a holdout and start to view the Sonos more as an appliance, not touching it until I someday might move house?
Any thoughts?
Holdout asking: Is the new app good enough?
You'll find people on the forum that have experienced problems. Personally, my system is stable and I've recently added a Move Gen 2. Please note however, that I don't use a local music library.
Remember: Sometimes Red Wine helps :)

If you are following the discussions about “missing” features that you use, it may pay to wait until these features become available.
The updated controllers and firmware use the network differently. You may need to adjust the router’s default settings. I’m not an ASUS user.
