Sonos Move not playing in a group

Sometimes when the Move is in a group and I press play, every speaker starts except the Move. It says that it is playing music and I can change volume and stop all speakers by pressing pause on the Move. If I remove the Move from the group and starts the music from the Move and adds all the speakers, everything works fine. I doubt it us the Wifi since it works when the Move is alone and the other added after. 

How to fix this so that the Move can be added to a group without be the "first" speaker of the group?

Are you using SonosNet?

Are you using SonosNet?

Yes, for the other speakers.

Since all your speakers on Sonosnet work and tne issue is just the one on Wi-Fi you might reconsider where the issue is.

Try disabling SonosNet.  Put them all on WiFi if possible.

I was going to suggest the same as ​@MoPac.

Move's work on WiFi only and sometimes (my experience) WiFi/Sonosnet interfacing can cause operability oddities... 

Also has the advantage that you can ditch the Boost 🤓

Will try this. Happy to ditch the Boost and get back a power outlet.

Aside from ditching tne Boost and gaining an outlet you also open up a Wi-Fi channel and move your Sonos to more modern Wi-Fi connection standards that provide better connections.

Well you do get better connections unless your router is really old, then you should update it too.
