Hi, I've tried looking online for the answer to my question but had no luck. I'm hoping someone more technical can help me.
I have a Sonos (5) which I've connected to the router by ethernet. I will eventually add other Sonos speakers which I believe will connect via WiFi and would mean the Sonos system will have its own WiFi network, thanks to the 5 being connected by ethernet.
The issue I'm having is controlling the 5 via the app in the other side of the house. The WiFi is poor here. I have tried a WiFi extender but its sets up a separate network e.g network-EXT and the Sonos doesn't like this. It also keeps me on the -EXT connection despite me moving myself next to the router (despite the - EXT being a slower connection)
How can I fix this please? I realise it's a WiFi issue.
-
Would adding a new speaker in this part of the house allow me to control better on the app or will I need to be nearer the router?
-
If I need to be nearer the router, meaning extending the signal, what's the best way for this? I want an extender that automatically switches to the best WiFi signal without setting up a new network.
I'm hoping just adding a speaker will resolve this issue.
Thanks
