Good afternoon,
I’ve been working in AV-IT for a few years now, and the company i work for loves Sonos, as does our clients. I find that they’re great when they work. Unfortunately, because i work in networking I’m constantly having to deal with network loops on the network every time an update happens. Is there a way to prevent wifi from being enabled when updates are done?
The radio isn’t re-enabled. The setting persists across firmware updates and reboots.
If someone were to factory reset and re-add a component then that would re-enable the radio.
An Update will cause all Sonos devices to reboot, is that the actual problem? How are you detecting the “network loop”?
If a router cannot handle a bunch of devices rebooting at around the same time, I would say it is time for a new router.
I would say in many instances i find the radios are re-enabled. Generally after bigger updates. The network loop is created when the connect/amp is hard lined and the wifi is re-enabled. The loop is only created when there are multiple amps/connects on the network. Has nothing to do with the router because I’ve seen this issue with multiple routers. Multicast traffic will start flooding the network randomly.
All I can say is that I’ve had a number of radios disabled for years, and have never known one to be re-enabled by an update.

It sounds like you’re moving devices around frequently, using different amps in different networks. I’m wondering if that has a impact on WiFi being re-enabled.
I’m not moving anything around. I have multiple sites that have the same issue arise after updates. Even if i was Wi-Fi shouldn’t be re-enabled.
