Sonos Support/Article/Recommended eero network configuration for SonosRecommended configurationWhen connecting Sonos to an eero network, we recommend using Sonos in a wireless setup, meaning your Sonos products don’t use any Ethernet connections to connect to your eero devices.Wiring guidelinesIf you’d like to wire one or more of your Sonos products to your eero network, we recommend following these guidelines for best performance:When wiring a single Sonos product to your eero network, you can wire it to any of your eero devices.When wiring more than one Sonos product to your eero network, they must be wired to the same eero device or the same network switch. Do not wire different Sonos products to different eero nodes. See our diagrams below for illustrated examples.If there are two or more switches present on the network, wire all of the secondary switches back to the primary switch and not to an eero product.This diagram shows a recommended setup. There are multiple wired Sonos products and they are all connected to the same eero node. All other Sonos products are connected to the network through WiFi.This diagram shows a setup that can cause problems. The wired Sonos products are each connected to different wireless eero nodes.Still need help?Our technicians can help over the phone or with a live chat.

Straight from the Sonos speaker via WiFi to Apple’s Music server online and its API:s. That is entirely in the hands of Sonos. Why isn’t that used, especially since it’s the recommended way to do it?In this way, Sonos could also easily provide a button for users who want to manually switch an Airplay streaming to “independent” Sonos streaming.Actually, what you are saying is a bit of BS. Because Sonos is already today using this mechanism when you, from inside the Sonos app, initiate playing of music that resides on your Apple Music account. In this case, Sonos doesn’t use Airplay but gets the music straight from Apple’s music server. @buzz This can’t be the complete truth. Any app (including Sonos) can access an Apple Music subscriber’s library (if the subscriber permits it) by connecting directly to the Apple Music server. That streaming does not have to go through any of the subscriber’s devices but can go straight from the Sonos speaker via WiFi to Apple’s Music server online and its API:s. That is entirely in the hands of Sonos. Why isn’t that used, especially since it’s the recommended way to do it? In this way, Sonos could also easily provide a button for users who want to manually switch an Airplay streaming to “independent” Sonos streaming. At the risk of sounding confrontational: why should Sonos do that? If they do it for Apple, who else should they do it for? Will Spotify complain that Apple is getting preferential treatment? Surely it’s up to those companies to use the provided api if they want their service to run on Sonos? @nik9669aNo, you got it all backwards here. It’s entirely up to Sonos to offer connections to the rest of the world from their own app. Exactly the same way any

If I initiate music through Apple Music app, Sonos App shows “plying through Airplay” and there is no easy way to switch from Airplay stream to direct Sonos streaming without having to stop the Apple app, terminate it, than restart music playing from recently played on Sonos app. Sonos music search within Apple Music catalogue is buggy and slow so I have to often start music in the Apple app and then fight with switch streams. It makes v. difficult to stream music in the background when you want to watch something else on IPhone on the same time Apple chose to do the bare minimum in its integration into Sonos. Do not expect it to change whilst Apple are selling their own speakers. I tried Apple Music when I had a free offer and hated it for this and other reasons. The Spotify and Amazon integrations are examples of what can be achieved. So you are saying, that Spotify switches from Airplay playback to stream directly from a speaker automatically, but Apple Music won’t, and it’s a music app issue and not Sonos App issue? If you are using Airplay, music is always passing through the phone/pad. SPOTIFY and AMAZON are more advanced and can play directly through the SONOS system. At that point the phone/pad can be shut down.SONOS offers a free API that music services can use to play directly through the SONOS system, but developing the interface is the music service’s responsibility. AMAZON and SPOTIFY have taken advantage of this API. @buzzThis can’t be the complete truth. Any app (including Sonos) can access an Apple Music subscriber’s library (if the subscriber permits it) by connecting directly to the Apple Music server.That streaming does not have to go through any of the subscriber’s devices but can go
