Mixed network with Sonos Beam, One and Move

Hi,

I have a Beam connected to ethernet. When the Beam and my Sonos One are the only devices turned on, the Sonos One automatically joins Sonosnet via wireless, all good. But as soon as my Move is turned on, the Sonos One switches to Wifi (WM:1). The Beam is on my Living Room while the Sonos One and Move are near each other in my Bedroom.

Is it possible for Sonos One to join the Sonosnet when it's near a Move? I know the Move doesn't support Sonosnet, but I don't understand why the One also needs to be in Wifi.

Have you disabled the “WiFi” (i.e. SonosNet) on the Beam? Try re-enabling it...

And now app just changed to WM: 1. Weird!

Our posts appear to be crossing. See above.

Yes, that was disabled. After enabling it again, Move is now also on Sonosnet.

What was confusing to me was the app showing the One under WM: 0 when Move was turned off, then moving to WM: 1 when Move was turned on.

And here's the Network Matrix after enabling "Wifi" on Beam.

@ratty thanks for your help!

And the One now stays in the network after Move is turned on (or at least has not left it in the past minutes).

That matrix looks healthy. I can’t imagine why the Bedroom One won’t stay on SonosNet now.

And, by the way, the Move never uses SonosNet; it’s always on WiFi.

Yeah, I know Move won't join Sonosnet. Do you think that's an issue? A lot of time I have the One and the Move grouped.

I can't remember why I disabled Wifi under the Beam settings, but thinking about it, it probably led me to believe disabling this would make it only work with Sonosnet. So, the Wifi in there is actually Sonosnet?

They should work together fine when grouped.

It is, and it’s egregiously confusing labelling that a number of us have called out in countless posts…
