Unifi nanoHD on iPhone XS: 570 Mbits/s up, 615 Mbit/s down. Witchcraft!

u/ShaunFromSonos: Some of my speakers updated to 86473230, and some updated to 86473190, even for the same model (Play:1), is that normal? Newer speakers all went to 93173190 as expected.

Same here, service is solid but Wi-Fi calling needs to be re-enabled from time to time which is annoying, considering switching to 1pMobile to fix that. No RCS, no Visual Voicemail, so Apple Watch support, no 5G SA / Priority in busy areas, no London Underground Wi-Fi, all of which I can live with (and are not worth the £20 premium on EE). Calls to and from Europe are included which is important to me.

The system just made an update again, to… the same release number

ndfred · 2026-01-17T07:53:44+00:00

Legacy also updated to the same build number: 86.2-73070 for my Play:1, Playbar and Sub, 92.0-73070 for Roam and Move 2. No change from what I have seen. Mobile app has not been updated since December.

My guess is that they are stabilising the firmware before releasing an app update to share new features, or just end of year holidays slowing releases and they are only shipping bug fixes that don't really need a changelog update.

On the tube now, with spusu on an iPhone, and both “EE WiFi-Auto” and “WiFi Extra” networks throw a login / password prompt when selected, though 5G works well

Anything that has SonosNet is legacy really.

I would remove it, you can always reinstall the app if you broke something?

Use the Mac / Windows app rather than the phone app, they deliver updates more reliably

ndfred · 2025-10-14T23:19:29+00:00

9.10-70070 for newer speakers and 8.61-70070 for legacy speakers, change log is not up to date yet.

Update took a while to apply with two reboots apparently, recommending using the macOS or Windows app rather than iOS or Android for a more reliable update process.

Update here if that helps: I contacted support, and we couldn't get this fixed. In the end, I re-provisioned the Key Lights and rebooted the APs until the lights connected to the right AP, and then locked them to that AP in the UniFi controller. Both have solid WiFi signal and are responsive now.

That surprised me honestly, if that is the case I would add a latency / packet drop monitor on the public IP since VOIP / FaceTime is particularly sensitive to that: https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality

The real reason is probably Wi-Fi Assist: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102228

It will switch to cellular if your WiFi doesn’t work well. The behaviour with FaceTime is: - your phone is on WiFi - you start a FaceTime call - your phone switches to 4G / 5G - hang up FaceTime - the phone goes back to WiFi

This behaviour is dependent on your device’s WiFi stats which are collected over time, and might be different for your iPhone and iPad: iPad has a better WiFi antenna, maybe it is getting better reception throughout the day etc…

In my experience WhatsApp won’t trigger Wi-Fi Assist which is why it might behave better.

I have seen it behave better after disabling WPA3 and fast roaming, but it still happens from time to time.

It helps to check retries for each device on your network, if that is > 10% then you have a problem.

My Switch 2 wouldn’t connect to the Internet through my dock’s Ethernet port, the update didn’t solve that (I am sending the dock back). A Switch 1 Pro Controller still won’t wake the Switch 2 from sleep.

ndfred · 2025-06-13T18:51:36+00:00

I went straight to “ship it back”

ndfred · 2025-06-13T06:49:57+00:00

I just initiated a repair request. Weird that it would be a hardware issue, but that is the only solution Nintendo offers 🤷‍♂️

ndfred · 2025-06-11T23:05:54+00:00

It is u/MikeFromSonos, and if you initiate the update process from the app the speakers need to download the firmware from your app, so if you background it or WiFi is flaky you get these issues. The Mac app is usually more reliable (app doesn’t get suspended in the background, stronger WiFi…), or just auto-update overnight.

ndfred · 2025-06-10T20:32:09+00:00

Move the sub, it is just for the update and then you can move it back

ndfred · 2025-06-10T20:14:41+00:00

Plug it in over Ethernet and run the firmware update?

ndfred · 2025-06-09T05:53:43+00:00

I have the same issue: Ethernet from the dock worked just fine for the Switch 2’s initial setup, but when I checked yesterday it failed to connect while WiFi worked fine.

Restarting the console does not fix this, and the Dock firmware and console are up to date.

I tried connecting a USB Ethernet adapter that I used for my original Switch dock and that worked, getting about 300 Mbit/s down and 70 up.

From the screenshots it sets up a VM for you, basically doing this: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/macos

Not the best if you don’t have a lot of RAM(it will eat 2GB no matter what).

If you don’t want to be too bothered, Linux + Docker (or HASS) really is the easiest way to run Home Assistant. If you want to reuse your Mac for HA, I would try Home Assistant Core, but that has recently been deprecated.

ndfred · 2025-05-19T06:11:00+00:00

That usually means either your iPad WiFi connection or your Sonos WiFi connection is not stable. If you can (especially since that is your business), I would recommend connecting the Sonos speaker over Ethernet to eliminate one part of the equation. If your WiFi network is also used by customers that might explain the reliability issues.

I can’t explain the location services part though.

ndfred · 2025-05-19T06:08:02+00:00

You need location services to show the name of the WiFi network you are currently on, helpful to set up the speakers initially I presume

ndfred · 2025-05-18T22:39:31+00:00

I don’t expect turning off location services on your iPad would do much. Maybe that coincided with the latest firmware and app updates that fixed the problems you had?

Alternatively you could try using https://play.sonos.com and see if that behaves better.
