I recently had a first generation Play 5 speaker go belly up, and now have 3 remaining first generation Play 3 speakers and was forced onto the new SONOS (2) app which has been a terrible experience with very slow response to changing tracks, loading queues, everything. I tried the complete router & speaker reboot that was suggested on other posts here, and that helped *a bit* it’s still slow but better. My question is: Is this a problem people experience with the new app talking to old speakers? Or do people with newer generation speakers have the same issue with the new app? I want to get a set of new ERA 100s but not if the app experience is going to be like this.

Slow App Response With Gen 1 Vs. New Speakers

Some users mixing older speakers with newer speakers have reported a sluggish experience with the app. But for some it works totally fine. The older hardware in the Play series speakers are the main culprits for this.
What I would recommend is, try hardwiring a Play 3 to your router/network to see if that helps.
If it does help, you may want to leave it in this configuration until you need to upgrade.
The Play 3 has always been a great sounding speaker.
