Hello, 

I have a problem on my 6 sonos Roam 2. 

I have a SSID with a password only for my Sonos Roam. I use a different WIFI (open) for my guest. 

I don’t understand why my guest on the other WIFI can play music on my sonos from a device (iphone etc...)

It’s 2 differents WIFI (but on the same firewall Zyxel)

Maybe someone can help me …

It would appear the open WiFi is not isolated from your local network, which is quite concerning as you say access is open, so anyone within range of the WiFi signal has access to your network.

Have you actually set up a guest network or are the two different WiFi’s just split bands where you removed password validation to connect?

Just to rule out the obvious: it’s not playing via a Bluetooth connection, rather than via wifi?

Could also be Airplay.
