Hi,

Anyone experience any changes withthier APP and System just by changing DNS in router? I basically changed out Spectrums DNS to Cloudflare and it killed the functionality of my app and system.

Thoughts?

Thx

I’ve been using Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) for a few years without causing any Sonos issues.

But changing the DNS in the router might sometimes require a router reboot - have you tried doing that since changing the DNS?

I just tried the cloudflare primary/secondary DNS servers 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and the Sonos App still works fine here.

The Sonos App also works here with Google’s public DNS servers too… 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4

Hi,

I did Gibson Research to check the fastest DNS in my area and Level 3 popped up .I added and it works. Cloudflare still breaks it.

Ill keep the forum updated with google soon.

Thx

A skin care advert to solve DNS issues? 😂

I also have not had any issues with Cloudflare DNS, I use 1.1.1.2 for added malware protection.

Your knowledge level may be way above this but just checking - you didn’t add an extra period after the end of the DNS address, and/or (depending on how the DNS is entered in the router backend) no spaces if also including a secondary DNS - i.e. 1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1

sigh

Got to love those <insert keyword here> articles 😂

I bet they provide a very similar looking page for a range of isp/dns combinations. Or Spectrum are searched so often they just focus on them. Was so tempting to click the article titled “Is spectrum.net real: unveiling the truth” at the bottom of the page 😂🤣

The cookie list is um.. interesting. They also have a different meaning of legitimate interest than I do 😂

I just see the space in between spaces myself - guess my blockers hide a good many things that I don’t wish to see. Sorry though if the ads on that site got in the way.
