Default Home Network Help

Looking for some help with my home network. Something changed and I am having trouble connecting my internet devices (Roku, Sonos, etc). Have wasted quite a few hours on the chat help lines with no success. Anyone have any leads on home network and or automation service. We are located in the Moultonborough
Thanks in advance

Sometimes if you connect your Sonos stuff to an Ethernet cable it will connect, then operate the way it should.

Is it just Sonos? They have had two updates in the past few months and requires a system reset and new app update

Everyone who has problems with their wifi is due to insufficient router. Many of the standard modem/router rentals are terrible. I suggest you purchase a seperate wifi router and turn off the wifi on your old modem. Almost always solve a large number of problems. A good unexpensive wifi router is tp-link AX1300 which I have found for around $40. Another good router under $50 is the Linksys EA6900. Both can handle a lot of connections without losing the internet.

If you need help in setting up a wifi router, I would be happy to lend a hand. Just reply or shoot me a PM.
