Virgin media Hub5

I’m Using a Virgin Media Hub 5 router - I can no longer split networks after a recent update, greyed out… lost connection to all my 7 speakers. Playbar and Sub work on TV only. I have a mesh network - I have split the networks on that, but still no luck connecting speakers. I have a boost - I tried connecting that, but it kept picking up another system. It might connects for a few mins, but will eventually say no system available. Help needed, thanks!

You weren’t using the Boost prior to router updating or have any other Sonos device wired?

If you are using a mesh network, then the Virgin router should have been placed in modem mode.

If your Sonos devices do not already know the Wi-Fi details for the mesh, then due to their lack of BLE, they will need to be factory reset to add a new network. You should connect one device by Ethernet so it shows in the Sonos app, then factory reset your other devices, leaving the wired device for last.
