"network connection speed insufficient to maintain playback buffer"

[DJHUNT]

Tried the reboot option and this worked for an hour or so then the same error message.

This is extremely frustrating - family visiting for Easter and no music. I expect more from SONOS. I await an update...

I direct you to the post before yours. John - Sonos requested that anyone experiencing this problem to PM him personally.

Yes same issue here after updating to latest Sonos release - rock solid up to now (couple of years), and can stream same track separately to 5 zones without issue.

Try grouping 1 track to 2 rooms and it falls over, same with 1 track stereo pairing to 2 x s5"s

Tech support very responsive and helpful but have not managed to resolve - they're focussed on interference... suspect when they are able to replicate their end it will get sorted.

I went through a few days with the same symptoms. I changed the Sonos wireless channel and the problem was instantly fixed.

Has anyone else tried my solution ? Did it work for you or do you still have the problem ?

I got email from John at Sonos who was a great help - resolved this issue and another ongoing radio playback issue.

So thanks and I'll contact support first before I get fustrated in future!!

Hi All,

I have 5 Zones at home (4 ZP100 and One Play 5) none of them work well since the latest update. I have the same error as per this subject and when I've tried the suggested solution it works well for a day or so before it reverts back to the same error. I have just emailed Sonos Support fingers crossed!.

Good luck to all, I'll post here if I have any luck or a solution is given to me by Sonos Support.

After a while I also have this problem. I tried to reset all pieces of my network (modem, router, switches, sonos zp90's and zp120's) but the issue 'network connection speed insufficient to maintain playback buffer' keeps getting back.

What else can I do to resolve this?

For what it’s worth, I've (hopefully) "had" similar issues with zones cutting out and/or not playing. I have never seen the error messages mentioned in previous posts but seem to experience similar behaviors. I've tried all the suggestions in changing from wireless channels, resetting ZPs etc. These all worked, temporarily, however the problem with zones cutting out seemed to always come back. I've checked my router and never seem to have any network related conflicts? However, I did notice on my DHCP client list, two of the client names for the zone players were listed as "*". I don't know why that is however in an effort to try to put this frustrating issue to rest, I added each Sonos component to a DHCP Reservation to ensure there would not be any addressing conflicts and that each device would always be given the same IP. After assigning IPs and resetting the ZPs, I’ve noticed one of the "*" ZPs is listed as "bin" in the DHCP client list? Again, I don't know why. However, each ZP now has a unique name and defined IPAddress. As of right now (keeping fingers crossed) the system seems to be working flawlessly and as expected!!

Having the same issue. Sonos support was notified, re booted all equipment, changed wifi channel, deleted all instances of the equipment in the router and didnt work. woke up next morning seemed to work ok.

Had a few emails back and forth with support and was pleased all working. Problem came back the next day, rebooted again worked again next morning. Been at work all week so will see what happens over the weekend.
