Of course I’ve had multiple issues after updating my speakers. Typical but after finally getting everything setup again. Now my beam and sub are undiscoverable and completely power off once I turn on my TV. Pretty annoying having to keep my TV on to listen to music. I also have One SL setup as a stereo pairing but they are on a separate power source. My TVSony Beam and Sub are all on the same power strip. Any advice my one SLs are setup as a separate room. After newest update I had to re add everything and hard reset all speakers but the beam!

Hi @bonedaddy821, thank you for your response and for submitting the diagnostic. Let me help you out with this.

Upon checking, the WiFi is disabled on your Sonos Beam and wad detected as a dropped room in the system which may cause the player not to show on the rooms menu in the Sonos app.

To address this issue, the next step is to perform a sequential reboot of your network devices, all your Sonos products, and force close mobile controllers to refresh the connection. 

A sequential reboot means that we need to do this in order.
1. Unplug your network devices (modem, router, any wireless access points on the network) from the power and wait for 60 full seconds before you plug it back in.
2. Once the router is back online, unplug all your Sonos devices from the power. Please wait 15 seconds before you plug back them back in.
3. Force close the Sonos app from your iOS or Android device.
4. When the status light on your Sonos speakers are solid white, get back on the Sonos app and check if you're connected.

Enable WiFi on your Sonos Beam
In the Sonos app, Settings > System > Tap the name of the room > Enable WiFi. The app will show which is currently selected with a checkmark.

After performing the steps above and you're still experiencing the same problem, I recommend contacting our Sonos Customer Care support to perform in-depth troubleshooting and understand your full network setup. Our phone support has the tools to check what's going on in your system and to remotely access your device to provide the best option for you.

Please feel free to reach out in the future if you have any other questions. You're always welcome here.

This did not help me. I had already unplugged everything and rebooted which is a pain with all the plugs and wires and your call center is experiencing high volume of calls. Probably because every update glitches our systems! Thanks again.
