Sonos not reconnecting

Is there a current bug or issue in the firmware / OS that does not allow non-wired devices to reconnect after a network outage without a power cycle? This has never been the case and I am seeing it with both older Play:1s and new One SLs as well as a Five.

Long standing issue, nobody has managed to pin down where it is though.

Solution for most folks is to use the router’s DHCP to assign static/reserved IP addresses to the Sonos devices.

How ‘long’ standing? I do not recall seeing this historically. But I cannot remember if I used static IPs in my old setup. Curious how that is solving the issue as well? 

Thanks in advance!

I don’t know. It was here in 2006 when I got my first few Sonos.

How much further back it goes I don’t know.

Appreciate it. Will look at the static IPs. Thinking about putting the Sonos devices on their own VLAN anyways.

You’ll likely have to put your controllers on the VLAN too.
