Be careful with that logic... If you already have problems in the 2.4Ghz spectrum... adding another network (which is what Sonos does) is not going to make things magically better.... You'll have the same problems with signal strength making it through walls and such, as well as Yet Another Network creating what other networks will see as simply noise. Placing a Sonos box every 20 feet to extend a network is a pricey solution. I'm not even sure it would work or just make a noisy network noisier. If your problem is you're in a high-density population area with lots of other networks, baby monitors, cordless phones, alarm systems and other 2.4G noise, adding more in that range won't help.... and if it's brick walls (with nice rebar for strength!) then, well, you're sorta screwed on wireless with anything. > > I am not trying to turn this into a SB vs. Sonos debate.
