Sonos - So simple

[sweety7272]

Couldn't agree more with this thread!

Just yesterday the missus said "everyone will have sonos one day!". It's my most life changing product of the century so far at any rate.

Love the simplicity, sound quality and the fact I can now get R4 in the kitched despite being in the FM/DAB equivalent of a black hole.

I got the S5 starter pack at Christmas and it was easy to set up although I have a question would I be better with the zonebridge plugged directly into the router as I have it plugged into a network hub in another room feeding from a BT powerline adaptor but the network has started to drop out over the last few days would it be best going straight into the router ?

Possibly. It will depend on the strength of the wireless signal. Try it and see.

You could also try changing the channel to rule out interference with other things in the house

Given you already know that the problem is due to your faulty powerline adaptors (or possibly that your mains circuits aren't suitable for use with those adaptors), you don't have too many options.

It will depend how far away the zonebridge and the S5 will be and how thick the walls are between them but until you sort out the other problems with your network is the only other thing you can try.

Will plug the zonebridge into the router tonight and try. Its strange about the powerline adaptors as they have worked since bt vision came out and now it doesn't seem to work in the socket behind the tv where it has been for about 3 years wiring should be fine whole house was rewired 9 years ago and all new wiring 3 years ago in the extension was thinking it might just be the powerline adaptors bt are using.

Added a S5 today. From taking it of the box to playing music took less than ONE minute.

Amazing.
