Hi,

 

Does anyone have any tips n tricks related to how to get a SONOS working on a Meru ssid ? We have been trough a lot of different settings and tested a lot of stuff - but we seem to be stuck. And I think it might be some basic stuff I am missing in my config ? 

 

Anyone have any experience with this  ? :)

    I have Sonos running, and have been using WLC SD 8.3.3GA, with Multicast enabled and also UDP ports are enabled.

    Rest is pretty much default settings.

    What i have seen is that Sonos needs rather good coverage to operate.

    Hi, tnx! We have enabled Multicast to - and at least added some UDP "stuff" using CLI, udp upstream and downstream commands. 

     

    Would it be possible for you to give me some info on how you set this up specificly ? We have the same version running as you. (Did you have to go and add some multicast info into the config to? Besides enableing it globaly?)

    Hey

    At ESS profile I enabled "Allow Multicast" and also i disabled "Multicast to Unicsat Conversion"

    At Configuration > Devices > System Settings > UDP Broadcast Ports i allowed all up and down UDP ports.

    Also important to try to find a decent (clean) channel to use most likely in 2,4
