I had a Fascinating Observation last night. I had manually set my 2.4
ghz wifi channel to 11 last weekend but I noticed it was noisy so I set
it back to Auto and the wifi router found a better channel.
Immediately the SB Touch fell offline, while the others that have wifi
bridges have stayed
Okay so this might be a little too early to tell but initial results are
quite good.
I put in 2 of the 3 wifi bridges that I intend to put in. The 2 that
have them have stayed online since Saturday when I put them in (about 44
hours as of writing this).
The 1 that I didn't replace went offline
Okay so I ordered 3x TP-Link AC750 WiFi Extender, and a 50' ethernet
cable and i'm going to wire 1, use bridge mode on extenders to wire 3,
and will report back how they operate.
They're coming tomorrow!

canned the brand, I've seen Sonos everywhere, as well as a number of
