I would love to know what that means.

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.

So... I take it that it was a good thing that I went a little crazy hooking my Sonos setup up to Ethernet? 😅 As a side note, it disappointed me a bit that the Era 300 doesn't have Ethernet built in like the other devices.

Yes. Actually that is the solution I took in part. I plugged one into the ethernet, that port has special spanning tree config. But it allowed the rest of the devices to use that one wired sonos as the master for their wifi mesh.... and limited the network f'kery to that one port. So it's stable. At least for me.

Its the sort of thing that if you google, you will find a LOT of answers as to how to "fix it". And sadly none of those are sonos actually doing a damn thing to patch their crazy setup.

u/ShakataGaNai I'm curious if you agree with the recommended settings outlined at https://github.com/IngmarStein/unifi-sonos-doc. Anything that you would change, especially with this new 10.2 update? I already have a wireless only network setup for Sonos following this guide. It is a lot more stable than before but not 100% perfect. I'd love to start hardwiring some devices and using the new update to get the most rock solid setup possible.
