We had problems several times wiring all sonos amps and bars to the switch. Sonos support says we should only wire one and leave sonos talk to each other via their own wireless. The thing is that we use the amp as the surround ( via the 192.168.xxx.xxx:1400/wiredsat.htm ) and we HAVE to have them wired.

What happens is that somewhere in the middle of the sonos configuration the network crashes, as the sonos devices pushes the network out of it's ports the same time it's receiving the newtork on the other port ( if you can understand what I mean )

we have called sonos MANY times. everytime we lie to them we have a certain model of router, and after an extensive wait and failed tries, they say that our modem is NOT COMPATIBLE with sonos. we even asked: so what router do you recommend? and based on their answers, next time we tell them we have the router they recommended last time, and they still say it's not compatible. They give this answer as an excuse when nothing can fix the problem.

The moment we disconnect the RJ45 off the sonos amps, the network comes back instantaneously, however, the surround will not work.

the Network we always use is Araknis, don't really know if that could be an issue. inputs are appreciated! Thanks
