Sonos Speakers showing offline on Router but they aren't really

[howie411]

So I have a bunch of Sonos Speakers. From what I gather Sonos uses its own 5ghz mesh network when you have rears and a sub connected to a main speaker. For instance I have a Sonos Arc, then 2 Rear Sonos ERA 100's and a sonos Sub Gen 3.

On the Device Page it keeps showing the ERA speakers and the Sub twice. It shows them offline and then it occasionally shows them online too, same MAC address obviously but only has a IP address if its online. Its not a huge issue but trying to clean up my device list. Is there a way to tell the ASUS router to stop listing them offline and or twice if they are using the Sonos Mesh network?

The ASUS router webUI client lists are often unreliable. Ignore them.

This seems to be a big issue - I am having huge issues since Feb and this still doesn't seem to be resolved in 3006.102.5 - did you ever fix this?

It seems to effect the ERA 300's and Gen 3 Subs with the Arc

It's not a big issue - network map is something known to be fairly broken...

Ok, it is official, it is either a problem with the Asus Merlin 3006.102.5 firmware or the latest Sonos speaker update.

Yesterday, I plugged in new router (Zyxel AX7501-B1), set the Wifi name to the same as what was on my Asus. Switched my Asus wifi off and the Zyxel one on and the Sonos speakers immediately connected to the Arc with the full home theatre system working flawlessly.

There has not been a single drop out since then.

Tonight, I switched it back to my Asus RT-AX88U Pro and once again, all the speakers are disconnected from the Arc.

I switched away from a BE98 because of issues with my Sonos system, been flawless since changing to an Orbi 970.
