Urgent Feature Request: RSTP

I’d like to add my vote to strongly sudgest SONOS entering the 21st century, implementing RSTP. Thank you! (On managed switches Sonos is a nightmare: really thinging on giving away my system)

I have had an issue with Sonos crashing my network when I removed the Bridge and used hardwired a speaker instead. I did a little research and back then there was a Cisco engineer who wanted to have a large Sonos system that was fully wired. I followed his configuration and everything worked!

Sonos adopted his configuration and its is a simplified version on their support site.

I have also had Universal Remote Control (URC) DMS audio in my home. They make a MAC filtering switch specifically for their amps, because without it their amps will also crash your network.

Does Sonos need to make a switch? I don’t think so. If your settings are correct, your system should run fine without bringing down your network.

Already implemented. Network crushed exaclty after that. So, it is not true that if the setting is “correct” everything is fine. Probably it is my fault. But my point is that it is so easy for Sonos to mess up network (or there would not be the need for so much different tutorials on this topic)

Does Sonos have to make a switch? No. In fact I was asking a different thing: to update their STP solutoin to 21st century. Maybe it is too difficult. Sill…

I can understand that there is so much hipe here for Sonos products. But they are far from perfect. And this is a key realization to further improve.

In order to improve a proprietary meshnet that is already on its way out?

In order to improve a premium product, with a premium price tag bought 2 years ago by a company that puts forwards its “eccellent software” and promises to mantein and improve on long term their devices. Just asking a feature based on those promises.

Adding to this: STP has been a recurrent topic for years, even when there where no “phasing out”.
