Living Room Surround Set up

I have a Playbar and 2 x Play:1 set up in a surround sound configuration.  this has worked seamlessly for years.  in the past few months the surrounds lose their connectivity and when the mute button is pressed on the Play:1s just flashed amber.  I either have to unplug the speakers from the mains and re plug in or remove them from the S2 app and set up from scratch.  This nows happens every 2-3 days.

I’ve installed a new wifi router that hasn’t fixed the problem and re-installed my Sonos system from scratch and the surrounds are still losing connectivity.

Have any other users had this issue and resolved?

You can always wait for the problem to happen again and submit a diagnostic to Sonos, then contact Support and ask for assistance.

A low probability that it is your issue but you might try setting static/reserved IUP addresses for your Sonos from the router’s DHCP page followed by a Sonos power-down, router reboot and powering them back up, do any Ethernet connected ones first.

Try removing the Play:1s as surrounds, unplugging them from power, and swapping the speakers (left speaker is now the right speaker, right speaker is now the left). Then re-add them as surrounds to the Playbar. Also make sure Wi-Fi is enabled on all speakers in the Sonos app.

Thanks to you both for the suggestions.  its been two weeks now since I swapped the speakers around and this seems to have done the trick.  Thank you.
