    AC5300 Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Tri-Band WiFi Router - lack of STP protocol support for SONOS

    Thanks....I spoke with a rep at NETGEAR business support and they directed me to the GS724Tv4 switch last Friday. I brought up all my SONOS Zone players up this weekend and wired only one to the Ethernet jack and had no issues with them - no broadcast storms etc. The GS208 switch will work as...

    AC5300 Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Tri-Band WiFi Router - lack of STP protocol support for SONOS

    Thanks....I am thinking of getting the GS208 (8 port network switch)....from NETGEAR. Got some feedback as well from the SONOS forums and this switch will work with my SONOS speakers. Got this reply at the SONOS forum: A simple dumb unmanaged switch will almost certainly suffice. Netgear...

    AC5300 Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Tri-Band WiFi Router - lack of STP protocol support for SONOS

    Wireless Router buying advice

    I have been looking at that option as well but have not seen that many routers...Linksys has some business VPN routers (4 Ethernet ports)...I looked at the CISCO site as well. It seems like all the routers in today's market are Wifi routers....any router I get needs to support the SONOS system...

    Wireless Router buying advice

    Thanks....It has truly been a work horse router for me....never had any issues. I am going to approach as well Cox Cable and see what product suggestions they have. After I saw the Linksys support forums and the issues customers are having with the WRT1900ACS my hair went on fire....UPS is...

    Wireless Router buying advice

    Hi....I am in the process of upgrading my old Linksys BEFSR81 router and almost purchased this week a new Linksys WRT1900ACS router. I did a complete 180 turnaround after I read the reviews from customers having all kind of issues with the WRT1900ACS router rebooting or dropping the 5 GHz...
