Hi all
My new symfonisk shelf keeps loosing connection with wifi. I have rebooted and disconnected from power all I could. Non of my other sonos' ever had this problem and still don't. Should I take the the symfonisk back to Ikea?
Thanks for support.

Before considering returning the device, try placing it in a different location, and testing it. Itās possible that the current location has some issues with wifi interference. That might be a good way to test that. You can read through that FAQ for other potential reasons why the speaker is disconnecting, too.
Thanks Bruce
I have placed it in different locations, rooms and places. It seem that it only remains stable when it's like 3, 4 meters from the wifi router/sonos bridge.

That's a pretty good indication that you've got a substantial amount of wifi interference affecting your system.
There's a lot of options in that link that might help you. Or, if you prefer, you could contact Sonos Support to discuss it.
I suggest the phone folks, they have more tools available because they're on the phone with you, but they are only available Monday through Friday during business hours. Both the Twitter and Facebook support folks are available 24/7.

So how would you explain that there is absolutely no problem/wifi interference with all my other sonos speakers?
Each device might have differently build antenna sensitivity, and not be as affected by this wifi interference as the one built in to the IKEA device?
... thatās what I thought too 😉
I've got no information one way or the other as to the sensitivity of these devices. But it's the only logical thing that explains what you're experiencing. Or possibly that there's something broken inside that particular device that's causing issues. Perhaps try taking it back to IKEA for a replacement? Or simply wire it to your router?
I'm confident that Sonos didn't actually design these devices, nor build them. I would expect that they sold parts to IKEA's company that incorporates these into these devices. I suppose it's possible that Sonos did have some input into the design, but I doubt that they manufacture the entire device.

Thanks Bruce!
Will try this, thanks Smilja.
I had similar issues with my Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf speaker.Ā Everything worked fine until i connected the Ikea speaker to my Sonos system. After that things became unstable, speakers dropping out and in andĀ disappearing from the room list, slow response in volume settingĀ and track-change etc.
I tried the āturn off everything and start one by oneā routine, but that didnāt help. But after i changed Wifi-channel om my router from channel 6 to channel 1 (sonosĀ is on 11, so it shouldānt be a problem in the first place) everything hasĀ been rock stable for the last few days.Ā
My theory is that the Ikea-speakers are more sensitive to Wifi/channel-interferenceĀ than regular Sonos products,.

I think I have a similar issue. Can you please tell me exactly what I need to do? Please Iām going crazy these days!
The easiest thing to try is changing the Sonos Wifi Channel in the Sonos app as described here:
