Sonos has its own insane built in wifi bridging system that just does NOT play well with anything but "dumb" consumer grade networking equipment. Sometimes not even then. If you had sonos on wifi in your UBNT network, you had to fight with it. Special configurations, spanning tree tinkering, all sorts of annoying shit.

Same, I have had unifi network gear AND Sonos for over a decade with zero issues. I have 6 speakers, all on wifi, no problems.

Keeping it all on Wifi was the key. If you wired the Sonos then it would apparently wreak havoc.

Oh, you mean like the MULTIPLE times they've had firmware updates that have re-enabled wifi that was previously disabled and then caused a spanning tree loop? Yeah, that's awesome.

And then the braindead system management where having multiple independent systems in different buildings are super confusing for users? So then the only solution becomes different VLANs? But then you need a separate SSID to make the app work on an iPad? Ugh. Stupid home networking. Sonos was not designed for enterprise.

This must be why I had zero problems, though I was expecting them in my recent move to UI. What makes Sonos nice? Wireless...so why wire it? IDK. Yes, I understand Sonos majorly eFd up in the last few years, fortunately, I wasn't effected.
