Using Roam pair in camper

I have a home Sonos network with many Sonos products running on my home Wifi.  I have a camper with a SoHo router installed.  The idea is to take my cell hotspot or campground WiFi as as the WAN connection creating a local LAN in the camper.  This all works as it should except for Sonos.  It seems that only one of my Roams work and I can't create the stereo pair.  The 2 Roams work as a stereo pair in the house but not in the camper.  Any ideas.

Did you unpair them while on the house Wi-Fi before you tried to pair them in your camper?

No I did not.  Let me try that tomorrow and see how it works.  Stay tuned.

 

Thanks!

OK I tried that and now now neither are working.  I think the one that worked was coming from my home network since the camper is in the driveway...for now.  So now when I restart the app on the iPhone.  When it can’t see any of my Sonos devices on the main screen it presents a message at the top of the app to look for devices.  I tap on it and it asks if I’m on a new network and I say yes.  It then scans the network and sees the two Roams and then asks for the WiFi password.  I enter it correctly and it says updating.  Then after a while a message appears that it can’t connect.  That’s where I’m at now.

What Wi-Fi network is the SOHO router using on the camper?

2.4 and 5 GHz. I’ve tried them both independently. Hope that answers your question.

You said you are using the SOHO router as WiFi as WAN. What outside Wi-Fi network is the router using in the camper?

It’s connecting to my home Wi-Fi in the house from the driveway and it’s got a good strong too.

When you connect to the SOHO router, do you use a different network name and password than your home Wi-Fi name and password?

Yes that’s how the pep wave so whole router works we need to pick a different SS ID and of course password. I saw another post where somebody mentioned that you should forget your network on the controller app and I tried that too and that didn’t seem to work

Is it possible to use the same SSID and password on the SOHO as your home Wi-Fi?
