Sonos has announced a new update to its app for iOS and Android, introducing an option to disable SonosNet, a private mesh network designed to connect Sonos speakers. This feature aims to address connectivity issues for users with more complex home network setups. According to Liz from Sonos, turning off SonosNet can help improve performance on modern routers that may conflict with the mesh network. The update also allows users to see what devices are connected via SonosNet, which can assist in diagnosing connectivity problems. However, users are cautioned to consider this option as a last resort after exploring other potential solutions, as SonosNet is enabled by default to ensure stable connections. The rollout of this update is gradual, meaning it may not be available to all users immediately.
