G+_Eddie Foy Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Noticed my Sonos is using WiFi channel 3. Why (cause the overlap)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Does the overlap cause problems? Can you change the channel? I presume you mean it overlap with your routers wifi, so what happens if you change your routers channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 I haven't seen a way to change it. Just moved my AP to 11 for the 2 or 3 items that use WiFi. (just see it as bad form.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm not real familiar with how Sonos functions. Is this a wifi hot-spots that you can connect to, or their proprietary wireless speaker system on 2.4ghz because it's open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 One gets wired in to the network, then it sets up its own WiFi network. No SSID and WPA (not WPA2). I might just wire them all. (wish they were PoE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 If I remember what Leo's said about his Sonos correctly, they don't use wifi at all. Just the same frequencies so they interfere with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Sounds like this dedicated WiFi network is what you get when you connect your Sonos to your router with Ethernet: "Connecting a Sonos unit to your router with an Ethernet cable automatically creates a dedicated Sonos wireless network." - http://www.sonos.com/en-au/system?r=1 (FAQ for "Do I need a bridge...?")

G+_Ben Reese Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Decided to look one more time. Here's the Sonos instructions on how to change the wifi channel: https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1230/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Travis Hershberger If Leo said that, he's wrong. Shows up as a hidden SSID in airodump-ng. And I can see the others that have connected to it. thanks Ben Reese ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joshua Hamlett Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Eddie Foy, if there is nothing using Channels 2 or 4 then 3 is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
