Fitbit Versa 3įor years, Sonos steadfastly refused to support hi-res music formats on its massively popular line of wireless speakers. Until them just switching stations and back fixes it and I am lazy. If this ever acts up at a convenient time to play phone tag I’ll send a diagnostic and call Sonos Support. Didn’t want to let it run long term and wait for the occasional glitch so I don’t know how it would have impacted the Amazon high rez stream. I saw no sound issues streaming CD quality FLAC from my local NAS. I don’t have any fancy testing gear since I retired but a few days ago, just for fun, I fired up my collection of Amazon FireSticks, 2 running different HD streams and one a 4K stream, far more load than I usually see to my ISP or internally. The WiFi channel shows around 20% usage (below) using an RF (not WiFi) monitor. The SonosNet speakers I have seen this issue on are a Play 5 Gen 2 that is about 10 feet across an open room from the wired Arc and a Beam Gen 1 that is about 15 feet and one sheet-rock wall away from a wired Beam Gen 1, 2o feet and two walls from the Arc. I have seen this glitch on my direct wired Beam Gen 1, don’t listen to much music on the other two wired Sonos. Cables test good and clients tested on the far ends max out the ISP link on speed tests. The router is connected via GB Ethernet to a GB switch that is directly wired to the Arc and one Beam, a second Beam is connected to a downstream GB switch. The router (info below) will happily saturate the ISP link up and down while maintaining low usage levels. Not always, but likely more often in most user’s world than not.Ĭonsidering my local setup I’m pretty sure it is not an issue with my connection to the ISP or an internal issue. local network, rather than the speed of your router to the outside world. The key is to remember that the “choking” aspect is likely between your router and the speakers, i.e. At that point the WiFi signal can be influenced by interference from other wireless sources inside your home and outside of it degrading the signal. If so that is when we recommend using the SonosNet. However, it’s your Router that determines how that 1GB is distributed throughout your home over WiFi. The speakers will be arriving today so I’ll begin my evaluation soon.ġGB speed provided by your ISP is fast coming into your home. (No available ports on router) I currently use Apple Music as I have a free trial but I just started experimenting with Qobuz and Deezer. If I need to, I could pick up a switch and hardwire in as my desk is right next to my Comcast router. I plan on sticking with WiFi as we get very reliable fast service. WiFi issues can usually be resolved by wiring a speaker to your router or using a Sonos Boost module to create the SonosNet. All other factors considered as previously mentioned… your only concern would be your home network hardware specifically your router if using Wi-Fi. Although most ISP’s even at the lowest tier, offer enough for music streaming. It just depends on your budget.Īs with any streaming service your band width is important. Spotify seems to be a popular service in this community. All services with the exception of SiriusXM offer step-ups for higher quality audio. I use Apple Music, SiriusXM and Sonos Radio.
