does not like.
before binning it this is what i would doswitch off router
reset the controller on your phone
unplug play 5
connect play 5 to router with an ethernet cable
swtich on router
when router up and running switch on play 5 with finger on button and allow to factory reset
when showing the correct light try to connect
if it doesn't work then open window and hurl.
a few years ago i did have some issues with songs/macbook/network security but until adding this latest play1 from another network I had no serious issues for years.

Seriously - ring them up before you bin it. My experience of using their tech support is that they answer the phone straight away (after 2pm - they are in the US after all), guided me through how to run a diagnostic and send them the report (2 mins) and diagnosed a faulty cable between my router and the first Sonos box. The other occasion that I phoned them it was because I'd moved some units around and confused the mesh network somehow - they reset it for me and it's been fine since. and

They are superb, I got sonos when it came out but couldn't get it to work. Spent about half an evening on the phone with the most patient person you could ever speak to, turned out the sky router at the time didn't like it so had to attach another router to the router! Paddy_N_Murphy said:
So. It's plugged in via ethernet port of a power line in the Kitchen (centre of the L-Shape barn) and I was managing to control it from the lounge off a different wifi 'broadcaster'
The only issue I have is sometimes when the controller (normally my phone) moves from a wifi "zone" to a different repeater or powerline zone. i just then close the app and restart and it works.- HOT OFF THE PRESS **

Have you heard it yet? Worth the extra over the original?
mMy business partner has, he thinks it is good and the 'TruePlay' function is good in extreme rooms, but all of my Play:1 Rooms have only needed minor tweaks.
Will ping out a PH special price list to those that have messaged me tonight. There will be an improvement on the RRP.
