Sonos speakers really are bad, I’ve tried everything. Rebooted so many times the play button is wearing away.

 

i have three play 1’s in our pub. All on the same WiFi. The WiFi’s not great but it does it’s job.

 

i connect them all together and they work. WiFi goes off and it’s chaos with Sonos. Reboot them all again and start again.

 

Now a common issue is one speaker will connect and play and the other two won’t. Or the two others work and the single speak won’t. So we have a very quiet room without music. They are all updated recently and rebooted. 
 

so what do I do now? I surely just need to replace these rubbish things?

When you say “Rebooted so many times…”, I’m surprised you haven’t asked for help a lot sooner. 
 

From your comments you seem to be using them on a wifi network in a pub. The human body is a great device for absorbing wifi signals. Running them via Ethernet cables may make a big difference. 
 

Also,  allocated ip addresses may help. If they drop off the network the router may be creating duplicate ip address issues as the speaker tries to come back online. Your router manual should tell you how to do this. Or give us the make/model and someone may be able to help. 
 

Try that and let us know how it goes.
