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.

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

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.

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!
