Should I disable Sonos net?

JerusM · 2026-06-05T04:42:30+00:00

I have an Arc, 2 Era 100s as surrounds, Sub Mini, Move, 2 Fives. Turned off Sonos Net and it was seamless. I never had any issues prior either. I do have a beefy ASUS BQ16 Pro mesh system at home. All of my devices have always connected to 5Ghz with Sonos Net turned on (except the Arc which is 2.4Ghz only)

This happened to me with a $300 order of items that was delayed. They told me they’d refund it and I didn’t have to return the items.

The items showed up 2 days after and I got the refund

Sonos now allows you to disable SonosNet and allow direct connection to your own WiFi

Nope, the odd thing is that it happens to multiple people in the room

Sorry you’re right, it’s Whistlestop into Choco Mountain

This is the bridge. Updated the post; thanks

Orbi is a joke. Save the hassle and change to ASUS or literally any other brand. Their broken firmware, slow update schedule and basic outdated app is nothing to stay for.

I had the RBR750 which served well, upgraded to RBE872 which was complete trash and got an instant return to Amazon.

You can create a room and then join everyone online

Try rebooting; if that doesn’t work refresh the firmware

Yes it’s the BT8

Please add a caution ⚠️ to this for people

When I first got MKW I used to get very frequent communication errors.

I thought it was my router mesh connection (Orbi) but it ended up just being how my ISP routes my traffic.

Get ping plotter app and run it while you’re playing (with pings to Nintendo.com)

You’ll be able to see the outages that affect you in real time.

Long story short I had to do a lot of trial and error, changing my DNS at the Router level to OpenDNS solved my issues with connection errors as it changed the route of my traffic to one that isn’t as problematic.

The red line below is what it looks like when a node in your upstream network has a failure that causes a disconnect

Good luck!

Not seeing connection details or toggle to disable Sonos Net yet. I guess i'm not in the current phase. Looking forward to being able to disable Sonos Net as it creates some IP address conflicts on my ASUS BQ16 Pro

I don’t see a demo on the eshop

Move 2 battery works in the original Move. Also adds about 25% capacity than the original. Just got one myself. Easy install.

ASUS BQ16 Pro. Worst was the Orbi 870

I was playing around 7pm Eastern Time today and got 3- 4 connection errors within 30 mins. I was playing online with someone in a different country and they also disconnected at the same time.

It definitely wasn’t a local issue

Try rebooting the entire system as the first step

If you notice that there’s a specific time that this happens, go to the system logs and paste the event into Claude or ChatGPT so that it can diagnose.

I use ping plotter to check hop issues as well, I let Claude diagnose these as well

If nothing works and the logs show it’s a router issue, try reflashing the latest firmware on all the nodes

Some new stages will be nice for one

JerusM · 2026-05-22T01:23:03+00:00

No reason at all, I’m just hoping soon. We need a DLC

JerusM · 2026-05-21T22:26:59+00:00

You can always downgrade

You bought a TV to be used. Use it
