How do I fix Sonos connectivity issues on my eero network?
Sonos connectivity issues on your eero network are typically resolved by re-associating your speakers with your network. Changes to your home network, such as installing eero or updating Sonos settings, may affect speaker connectivity.
If you've experienced Sonos issues like skips in your music or speakers no longer appearing in your Sonos app since installing eero, you may need to re-associate your speakers with your new wireless network.

How do I connect Sonos using Ethernet?
For advanced Sonos systems with many (5 or more) Sonos speakers, connecting Sonos devices to your network with Ethernet may provide a better experience.
When doing so, we recommend that Sonos devices are connected via Ethernet or wifi, but not SonosNet. Follow these suggestions for the best eero network and Sonos experience:
Any Sonos that is connected via Ethernet to your eero network should have its wifi capabilities disabled
All Sonos devices that are connected via Ethernet should also have wifi disabled
To disable wifi on a Sonos device:
Open the Sonos app for iOS or Android
From the Settings tab, tap System
Under Products, tap the name of the room you'd like to modify
On the following screen, tap your product's model name under the Products heading
Tap Disable Wi-Fi
If unable to hardwire other Sonos devices they should be connected via wifi to your eero network, not via SonosNet.
