Mesh system that works reliably with Sonos

I have two Nest Wifi Pro mesh networks in different houses.

In one, Sonos works fine.

In the other, most Sonos work, but one Sub and two Ones haven’t been able to connect to the network for months, even after many factory resets and other debugging steps with technical support.  (They used to, not sure what changed.)

On this mesh network, some of the points sometimes drop off the mesh as well, which can be resolved by factory resetting them and adding them back to the network.  So I’m pretty sure Nest Wifi Pro sucks, unlike the old Google Wifi which had been rock solid for me.

I’m thinking of replacing the Nest Wifi Pro mesh with a different brand to see if that resolves the issues.  Any recommendations?  I’ve read reviews, but they usually don’t cover what percentage of homes with that mesh system work with Sonos.  And forums are full of complaints about essentially every mesh system when combined with Sonos.

    My Nest Wifi Pro are up to date. I don't know if only the primary assigns IPs but there is no option to configure that. 

    If your Nest WiFi Pro is properly configured only the main node should be able to assign IP addresses. I have no experience with Nest WiFi Pro so I can’t tell you how to verify that all is correct 🤔

    It seems to be quite an issue .

    Just from my experience the EERO sub station  that is in my living room three floors up from the main EERO router is the one connected to the 5 via an ethernet cable and since I did that is working perfectly !

    When I called EERO first they told me that whichever speaker i choose has to be connected via an ethernet cable to the main router , I explained that would be impossible because on how I have set up my speakers and the different rooms , the representative checked again with her other tech people and they told me that it doesn’t have to be connected to the main router , it can be any of the “ sub routers “
