Eero and Sonos One
I thought I would reach out to the community to see if anyone is having or seen an issue I am having. I currently have a Gen2 Eero with 2 beacons setup in my house. Every was working great until I decided to purchase a Sonos One. I was able to set up the Sonos One on the wireless network with ease. After about a few weeks I noticed that my internet speeds were dropping and would eventually my internet connection would drop out. I would restart my cable modem and the Eero unit, and everything came back fine. This would continue every few days, until I decided to power down the Sonos unit. Everything worked fine after that. Then I powered the Sonos One back on and once again my issues resurfaced. I am curious if anyone in the community has experienced this issue?

I have 10 Sonos devices (mix of G1 and G2) in my home and 4 Eero Becons. I am running the Sonos devices on the Eero network (W1 in the "about system"). While playing music, My Sonos devices cut in/out at seemingly random intervals - sometimes ranging from 5 to 10 minutes. It happens across different Sonos devices at different intervals. I've actually watched this behavior in the Eero app. I think the Sonos devices are switching between beacons periodically. Not sure why this is happening. I previously was running Sonosnet and had the same issues (I connected one sonos device to a network switch that was wired to the primary Eero Beacon Gateway Router). I thought maybe the Sonosnet was interfering with the Mesh Network, so I transitioned my Sonos equipment to the Mesh Network. I am still having similar problems. I've turned all devices on/off multiple times, and the problem still occurs. Any thoughts?
I am wondering if this Eero network is not reliable. -
Two of my speakers are older Sonos Play 1 models and I have a mix of Eero pro and Eero pro6 wifi units. After moving one of these speakers closer to a Eero pro6, it stopped connecting. After trying a lot of things, I realized that it would only connect to one of my Eero pro units. So I rearranged my pro unit locations. Recently the other Play 1 stopped connecting. So I rearranged things again and it is now near one of my Eero pro units and working again. I have ad blocking turned on, IPv6 turned on, and for other issues (based on Eero technician advice) am using custom DNS.
