No, you can't change the HT channel. To check which one is being used, go to <your Arc IP address>/support/review.

Then click on your Arc's room name and /proc/ath_rincon/status:

  • Operating on is you WiFi channel
  • Home channel is your SonosNet channel
  • HT channel is the Home Theater channel your Arc is using with the Ones e Sub.

You can't set the HT channel and it may change at any time

Sorry, go to:
<your Arc IP address>:1400/support/review

I’d challenge that on the Sonosnet front. I doubt Sonos are running proprietary protocols on radio frequencies reserved for WiFi use, and then writing complex conversion protocols to translate traffic between the outside world and Sonosnet.

What needs to be converted or translated?  Data can pass between devices connected by WiFi and those connected by SonosNet.  That is what the Ethernet connection is for.  That is why SonosNet can only be used if there is a wired connection. But I feel you must be right that Sonos won’t have “reinvented the wheel” and so must be built on the same fundamental protocols.

Haven’t we also seen scenarios where WiFi traffic ends up being wrongly routed over Sonosnet thanks to STP issues? Implying that Sonosnet is more a hidden WiFi network IMO.  

 

I believe that network storms have arisen from looping between wireless and wired connections, when STP is not being handled correctly by a router or switch etc

The 5GHz bonded network for surrounds/subs appears to behave differently, but is also less problematic.  

It isn’t a network.

But we are so far off topic now.  I would endorse comments made by (I think) @AjTrek1 , that as far as the OP is concerned, this is a total non-issue.  He only has a HT setup that is not using SonosNet, and a Roam that can’t use it.

We should all get back to listening to our music.

you’re better off just building your own speakers for the price and not having to use their ****** app

@robenheimer It is very unfortunate that your system does not work like you want it to, but why do other users have to plough through nine reactions in the last hour adding nothing worthwhile to the community?

If you have a question, please ask it.
