Some of my favorite products have gotten crappier. Did they have to?

@caseyliss just wait till you get that Sonos system on UniFi 💀
@maddox I have some friends with both and they have no problems. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@caseyliss It's fun because it's famously bad on Unifi, but also some people are fine.

I experience both. I have two sites and one works fine, while the other is practically a graveyard of speakers.

@maddox @caseyliss As long as you make sure to disable SonosNet things are fine.

@callin which is easier said than done because SonosNet is an "it just works" technology, a la Apple, that isn’t even exposed as a setting.

You can't just turn it off.

It's just something that happens. And it all depends on how you set up your speakers.

There are 3 schools of thought for a reliable set up of Sonos on Unifi and none are bullet proof :(

@callin @maddox I wasn’t aware that was something a person could do
@caseyliss @maddox SonosNet should only be active if you have ethernet connected Sonos devices with Wi-Fi enabled. If you disable Wi-Fi on these, which you can do in the product settings, SonosNet should no longer be active. I could verify it on my Unifi setup by checking if non-ethernet connected Sonos devices showed up as connected through Wifi.
