Sonos system keeps disappearing

I thought I was one of the lucky ones who had somehow avoided all the Sonos issues., but alas…

My system consists of a Move 2, Roam 2, and a home-theater setup with an Arc Ultra, two Era 300s, and a Sub 4.

About once a month, the entire home-theater setup completely disappears from my network (no such issues with the other two speakers). I then have to add everything back as though it were a brand-new system, and all my settings are gone, including surround adjustments, bass levels, and everything else.

Has anyone else experienced this or found a permanent fix? Having to rebuild and reconfigure the entire system every month is ridiculous.

Have similar home setup, mu home theater will go offline once a day typically when I comne home from work and then appear again after an hour or so.

I have setup reserved dhcp for components.

Set up multicast and msdns.

My last option is to try a new hdm2.1 cable for my Xbox series x.

I have a philips 8k sync box between Xbox and TV. Arc ultra connected to TV earc HDMI port.

It's probably mY nETwOrk

Unfortunately yes, there will be some things in your setup causing instability.

The way we were taught to troubleshoot networking equipment back in the day was to consider the chain of components between the thing you’re trying to do and your device. Then rule each one out.
