I don't know what Sonos have done. But the connectivity on my Play 5 Gen 1 was always pretty poor given Sonos is one of the top brands. But they seem to have taken a poor system, remodelled it, and made it so poor that the wireless function just doesn't work and, even when Hard Wired, the Spotify connection is now unnecessarily over complicated and clunky. You get better functionality from cheap chinese stuff. Absolutely shocking.

I hate Sonos and resent investing in 6 speakers since 2014 when the app was glitchy but I assumed it would improve. Nope, not even close, it's just got worse. Main speaker is hardwired into the fibre modem yet still drops out regularly (others on WiFi continue). Speakers fail and stop playing on a regular basis; speakers regularly disappear from the app; a couple of times a week the app will tell me I have no speakers at all; Alexa functionality hasn't worked for almost a year. The list goes on.

For as much as these speakers cost, it should be better. The sound is still terrific! Double A+, really. But the app, though better, still needs work. I have to hit several buttons to turn off the link; as if I don't know I want to close the app. & it still gets buggy about accessing my entire library (whether by cell or by laptop). By this point in time it's disappointing.
