Hi Jeff, Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the box is still not working. I have changed the channels a couple of times (I have only 3) and the systeem is completely updated. I have a new diagnostic number 6105392.

Hi IngeSonos,

The interference numbers look a bit better. Please try rebooting the missing Sonos unit. To reboot your Sonos speaker, just remove it from power for ten seconds then plug it back in. Once the light on the unit goes solid, see if it shows up on your Sonos app.

If the unit does not show up, or if the light on the unit does not go solid, try adding it back to your system, here's how.

Hi IngeSonos,

That's great to hear. Please let me know if you have any further troubles.

Hi AmericanSwede,

There are high levels of wireless interference showing. Please try changing your system's wireless channel, here's how.

After changing the channel, wait a couple minutes and see if the missing player returns. If not, try rebooting the player by removing it from power for ten seconds. It may also help to reconnect the speaker through this process.

Hi Waggers5009,

There isn't too much interference showing on your diagnostic report. Please follow these steps to reconnect your missing unit. It is possible that range is a factor. How far is the missing player from the nearest Sonos unit? Which unit is closest to the missing player?
The closest unit is just a connect box and is approx 15 metres apart, it was showing and working but has disappeared. I have tried removing power and adding but keeps saying it has already been set up, can I get into back to green light and start again? Thx

There is a unit showing in your diagnostic report which has no IP address. This may be the missing unit. It has a very weak wireless connection to the Kitchen and Lounge units. Is it possible to move the missing unit closer? Try that and see if the missing unit reappears. If so, it may be a range issue.
It's reappeared but the speaker connection is to far away, is there a way of boosting the signal between the boxes? Thx

Each Sonos unit sends out a signal, so you can use a Sonos unit in between to provide a wider coverage. If you don't have an extra speaker you would like in that area, you can use a BIRDGE or a BOOST instead.
Ok thank u

My diagnostic is 6159950. Thanks!

The diagnostic show that bedroom isn't connected, is the LED on? Does it often pop back in the app? If so also submit a diagnostic from the moment it is connected. What is the range between the bedroom player and the other players?
It initially was in and out but now it is been out for a while. The LED light continues to blink green. My diagnostic code now is 6177657

Hi Jpro22,

Your diagnostic report shows that there is wireless interference causing communication errors between your Sonos units. This is probably why your unit dropped from the system. As your previous diagnostic didn't show much interference, it's possible that your home router is set to automatically switch channels. We recommend disabling this option and setting your router's wireless channel to a channel different than that of your Sonos system.

You can change the Sonos wireless channel, here's how.

Once you've changed your wireless channels, try to add the missing player back to your system by following this guide.
That worked! Thanks!

Hi Julie,

It looks like your missing Sonos unit is communicating wirelessly with the rest of your system but it does not have a valid network address. This may be due to the weak signal strength of the connection. How far away from the next nearest Sonos unit is your missing unit? It may help to move that speaker closer to the rest or to look nearby for third party wireless devices which could interfere with the signal. If any such device is near or in between your missing unit and another Sonos speaker, try moving that device away and see if it helps.

Hi Lars,

It looks like there are a few wireless networks in range on the same channel as your home network. This may be the reason your Sonos units aren't staying connected wirelessly. Please try changing your home router from wireless channel 11 to 1. Let me know if that doesn't help.
Hi, I have the same issue. Works again if I reboot router but would very much like to solve this permanently :)
