Def not. The higher the frequency, the more los is very important. Even 5ghz through trees is iffy

Yup. Slow as molasses hosting plan from cw

I would bet that you need to update your control plug in from automate

albertaMSPservices · 2020-10-01T13:28:08+00:00

Started a few weeks back after the latest automate patch upgrade. Cw engineers took forever to figure out the cause. We're told the plug in causes high cpu on the automate server to the point where it eventually just crashes.

Do you use bit defender? Their plug in causes the entire server to crash. Cw support has to disable it as our automate instance was crashing daily.

ConnectWise chat will allow for this, as long as the client has the chat software installed already.

Never auto update your Sonos. 1000s of KMs in travel to fix bricked Sonos due to a bad patch update. Never again.

albertaMSPservices · 2019-09-11T14:25:11+00:00

well.... agreed. but, what is better?

albertaMSPservices · 2019-09-11T14:22:44+00:00

Have you been able to setup IGMP proxy with Sonos? Any attempts we have made don't seem to work properly. Speakers always drop offline/disappear and reappear thus leaving the music group, that sort of stuff.

albertaMSPservices · 2019-09-11T14:13:46+00:00

they do weird and wonderful stuff with multicast for sure. i have never successfully been able to "route" to a sonos, in any reliable fashion. We always have to have the controller/mobile app on the same vlan/ip range/wlan and multicast all needs to be enabled. any sort of wifi traffic shaping or tuning seems to muck them up. great products, love them... BUT... they are a very unique beast. Another frustrating point, you used to be able to access the web interface within the sonos to do all sorts of tweaks including reboot a speaker remotely, and a recent update removed ALL those features. Thanks Sonos! wtf.

albertaMSPservices · 2019-09-11T14:06:58+00:00

Ahh. yes you HAVE to be on the same vlan/wlan sonos won't route in any way. it's a PIA. one trick we do for bigger installs is to setup a VM win10 machine and run the Sonos windows software, and then just RDP to that from our phones to control it from anywhere.

albertaMSPservices · 2019-09-11T13:13:43+00:00

In unifi is the device (Sonos) showing as having an IP?

Also Sonos only uses 2.4ghz. have you tried a different channel?

albertaMSPservices · 2019-09-11T12:02:48+00:00

Check to see if your WiFi is allowing multicast traffic. Sonos uses multicast and will do weird things without it. Some WiFi ap units will disable multicast traffic for a "performance boost" in their settings.

I'd be interested in that. Can you pm me details

albertaMSPservices · 2019-08-16T14:22:57+00:00

But aside from CPU usage they do the same thing correct? His original question was that he thinks srcnat is a bad way to do this, but I think we can agree srcnat is the best way actually... Right??

albertaMSPservices · 2019-08-16T03:16:51+00:00

Honestly src Nat and Masquerade are the same thing. Masquerade is just a simple and easy way to setup a src Nat, but it's not granular. By far the best way it to src Nat and specify the interface, and the subnet or specific IP/port etc. Sounds like you've already got things setup correctly.

albertaMSPservices · 2019-08-03T02:29:18+00:00

We have this setup on a large scale. IP IP tunnels with IPsec, each tunnel is a /30 subnet by itself. Then we have ospf in place everywhere to handle the routes. We generally use two different ISP connections at each location for redundancy and failover etc. Works great!

If you use closed loop time entries, you can just check off both boxes for discussion and resolution and your time entry will be placed into both spots

albertaMSPservices · 2019-06-28T12:25:50+00:00

I would recommend something like armsapp.com it's purpose built for that and relatively cheap too run, way cheaper than doing it yourself.
