     Which Xfinity Gateway do you have?  Mine is the Technicolor XB8.  I do have a Port that is Ethernet connected, but it is connected to a Xfinity Pod.  Works OK.

     Did read something about Ethernet issues after the 1st March update.  Don’t recall the OP who created that topic.

    I have the XB7.

    second update supposedly fixed upnp issues but I tried both upnp on and off without helping the issue

    Appears to be an issue with 18.2 (build 94.1-75110) on Sonos Roam v1 where it won’t connect to WiFi networks with certain special characters in the password : https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/s/CDzjG4U2aQ

    This can cause Sonos Roam to no longer connect as soon as it has updated.

     I think the UPnP setting in the Sonos app is only used to enable Sonos device discovery using other UPnP/DLNA control point apps.

    L3 is claiming Pihole DHCP is not supported by Sonos.

     

    I had to assign static IP in the router, instead of the Pihole DHCP server to get the speakers to work via Ethernet cable.

     

    For several years before the March update, pihole DHCP was working 100% with my speakers. They fail to admit the March update has broken something.

    Jerry, you may be seeing a conflict between the two DHCP servers. Dual or redundant DHCP servers are possible but that is a complexity I have avoided here.

    The update may have altered the Sonos DHCP checking process and exposed an issue that wasn't one with the previous firmware. Sonos doesn't discuss changes made to the open-source code used by the system, just lumps them under fixes and updates.

    I don't use the Pi-Hole DHCP here so I can't check the compatibility.

    Disable one or the other DHCP server and see if things work better.

    This can cause Sonos Roam to no longer connect as soon as it has updated.

    Sonos Support were able to reproduce and the engineers are looking into it.

    I've fiddled some more and it appears on recent firmware you cannot have a WiFi password start or end with a double quote ( " ) on Sonos Roam and potentially some other speakers (Arc maybe?).

    One (Hardware 1.26.1.7-2.1 = Gen2), Beam (Hardware 1.35.1.6-2.2 = Gen2) and Sub (Hardware 1.32.1.5-2.2 = Gen 3) are fine with quotes anywhere in the passwords.

      That’s absolutely fascinating. Thanks for providing data to Sonos to look at.

      Not that I’m a coder, but how does that happen as a bug? ;)
