Solved: Having Issues with your Sonos Speakers and TP-Link Deco Mesh?
Solved: Having Issues with your Sonos Speakers and TP-Link Deco Mesh?
We have seen a common issue related to Sonos speakers and Mesh networks. Not just TP-Link Mesh like Deco or OneMesh but in general. In doing some research on Sonos website and community, we found that this is a known concern. What we found is the following:
On Sonos system requirements page it states on a foot note that: “In WiFi mesh networks, Sonos products must be wired to the primary mesh node if using a wired setup”
So, if you are having connection issues, please try to setup your Sonos speakers this way. Also, another option that was posted on a community thread is using their Sonos Boost device. From what we can gather this device is a WiFi extender specially for the Sonos speaker system. We cannot state if this option will work or not, but the Sonos community has it marked as an Answer on the thread.
Please know that TP-Link cannot endorse any of these solutions and do recommend you still reach out to Sonos for any support beyond these suggestions.

Ok ... so o think this has solved years of Ethernet backhaul issues.
I have been pulling my hair out getting my Ethernet backhaul to work. I have runeany meters of wires, required backhaul, moved my internet connection at great expense.
The issue has been Sonos. My Ethernet backhaul would drop out but sometime the recommits would still show as connected. My internet would drop to a few mbs/second.
I read on this forum elsewhere that your Sonos needs to be plugged into your main deco unit for it to work, not a satellite.
Unplugging Sonos from my deco has solved my issue!!!
