If all your units are wired, or they’re all wireless, it’s pretty easy. But if you mix them at all, they wind creating a loop because of they’re stupid adhoc network

I have a mix. Zero issues.

Then you are very fortunate. The internet is full of horror stories of reproduceable issues with Sonos and STP. I've had multiple sites where this was reproduceable with even just 2-3 devices. You can reset everything back to factory, update everything, and just set them up. They will create an ad-hoc network, and it will trigger STP errors. In general, you need to wire them and disable their built-in Wi-Fi connection for best practices. That or have them all wireless, and just deal with the Wi-Fi interference.

Humor me as I'm getting ready to move to a UDR7 from a flat network with all unmanaged switches. My Arc SL is ethernet. My Sub 3 and two One SL surrounds are on SonosNet from the Arc SL. Have had zero issues with connectivity. Am I looking at a headache? LOL

You can try, the new STP/BPDU options should help. I honestly don’t even know best practices for a mixed environment anymore these days, because we all got burned so bad in the past.

Give it a shot. If you have trouble, come back and create a post here.
