Im running Sonos on Asus Zen Wifi AX mesh network, everything else is working fine, but not Sonos

So is it just Sonos or is it the combination that sucks? Any body else with this combo? Sometimes Sonos works fine, for a while, then nothing works….. I try to reset something, here or something there, after restarting all Sonos products and restarting the network, then sometimes it starts working, for a while, then speakers start to drop out, drop out of the system….. I read sort of the same description from other users so…. But the question is , is everything the app or is it something with my mesh WiFi, I have looked deep into the configuration but can’t se anything fishy, am I missing something?

Maybe see if this earlier thread link assists with disabling Airtime Fairness etc.

Thanks! But I have tried that, and some other suggestions, still sucks…. I’m sort of really looking for if there are others that are running the same mesh, have tried a lot of stuff without result , then I might throw out the S2 system give up and maybe, maybe put all Sonos units in the garage S1 config😉

Just to say your Roam and any Sonos One SL devices on S2 cannot be used with the S1 App - if you can’t resolve the matter, it maybe best to reproduce the issue(s) seen and then immediately submit a Sonos system diagnostic report from within the Sonos App, note it’s reference and contact/chat with Sonos Support Staff via this LINK and see what the Staff can perhaps suggest to help you to resolve the matter.

I have Sonos connected wirelessly to an ASUS ZenWiFi AX XT8 mesh network with Primary node and satellite and have no problem with 20+ speaker connectivity.

Thanks Ken! See now that there has come up a lot of zen related topics that didn’t show up last time I checked (it was a while ago) btw the system came back just a while ago after I switched it to ch6, even though ch 11 wasn’t crowded……Looks like I can do some more of digging during the he hollyday, Merry Xmas!🌲🎅🏻

PS! So I will be stuck with 2 speakers in the garage /workshop for a while then…😉

Hopefully you can get to the crux of the issue.. it sounds like the Asus mesh setup should work, as it appears to be working okay for others, like @Mr. T above, and the user in the thread I linked to earlier.

Mr. T

@JensHolsteinKrag - have you considered trying to run Sonos wirelessly with the ASUS mesh rather than using SonosNet?

Thanks! Well, that might be an idea…. But I must say that I’m not sure how the speakers interact with each other on th Sonos net, and how they use the mesh… I can’t find anywhere to disable the Sonos net in the settings…. I can’t see any WiFi like activity connected to Sonos when I sweep the bands with my net monitor, so either it is well hidden or some other protocol that does not show up on the monitor. Maybe I should configure an SDR to look at how the RF environment look like🤔 Busy holiday ahead…😄

How they interact is complex and depends on your exact situation. Basic description is if you plug a Sonosnet compatible speaker into Ethernet it will start broadcasting a Sonosnet signal. Other Sonosnet compatible Sonos will try to join. Then you get over my head on special case situations.

There is no “disable Sonosnet” option, you can turn off the entire radio but then all other radio dependent stuff also quits working.

If you are using a monitor that looks for WiFi signal it will not see the Sonos hidden networks. Sonosnet or the 5 gHz surround/sub links. An RF based tool will see the signals.

Unless you have a need to run Sonosnet I can’t see a reason to get into that. I ran Sonos net for many years, not a problem as I had two clear channels, one for my WiFi and one for Sonosnet and all my Sonos were Sonosnet compatible. Now I’ve added new ones that are WiFi only and unplugged my three that were wired. Nothing changed from a use perspective but I do find the signal strength reporting more useful than the grid at the :1400 pages.
