Hi, I'm having some trouble with the Sonos in my network setup.

 

I'm really happy with the devices and config options, but I have the feeling I'm missing something. Good to know; all my AP's are connected wired. I'm getting 500mbit wireless in all rooms. My Sonos setup is connected with a (hidden) 2.4GHz SSID. Not configured as a guest network / other vlan or something like that, just a simple seperated SSID which only transmits 2.4GHz.

 

Case: Sitting on my couch at the livingroom, not streaming music or something like that. I'm getting speedtests around 500mbit easily and stable. However when I start to stream music to one of my Sonos speakers and start the speed test again (same situation), I'm getting speedtest results between 180mbit and 220mbit approx. 

 

I've also configurated automatic speedtests in Omada every 12 hours, and you can see the exact moments when Sonos is streaming (see attached screenshot).

 

I can imagine Sonos taking a bit of my internet speed as it has to stream, but I can't imagine it takes/requires 200-300mbit.

 

Hope you guys have experience in this situation and have tips where to look/what to test.

Thanks in advance!
