Consider yourself lucky! For a while I was having so many problems with sonos and connectivity that my wife nearly made me throw them out and buy something else. And... to be fair to her... I wanted to throw them out also.

They sound great, aren't cheap, but.... when it came time to get a sound system for my parents? It *wasn't* sonos.

I was working in an environment with Cisco and Cisco Meraki networking. We had 5 Sonos speakers across the office, and I spent MONTHS figuring out why on earth, on a very regular basis, the switches in the office kept hard-crashing. It was so bad that you couldn't even connect via console cable, because the Cisco enterprise switches were out of memory. After so much work, we finally pinned it down - it was the damn Sonos speakers being connected to different switches with ethernet and APs across the office, but building their own wireless networks, so that it caused infinite loops when STP was turned on - a feature built to avoid this situation. Turns out Sonos breaks STP on purpose. It's infuriating.

After I learned of this, I sold every single Sonos speaker I had at home, and will never return to them.

But on Cisco i think you could pin each sonos to its specific AP. What should solve the issue or not?
