Thanks, Joel, appreciate the additional information and details.
trust me, we looked and tried everything.
I have no doubt that you did and am certainly not questioning that. I've been a hardware and software engineer in networking for the last mumble-mumble years, so am just curious about the technical issues you've run into. For the record, I view RF as a black art...
It is physically possible to wire the S5 but because of the tree spanning limitation the S% would have to connected/wired to the 4 other SONOS units notes above...this would involve a lot of curring of holes, platering, painting, etc. which is neither worth the effort nor cost when other options are available...
It would be great were SONOS to address the tree spanning limitation...
Ah, I see. So, it's not just a question of getting a network connection to the S5 in your office.
What exactly is the "tree spanning" limitation? Is this part of the Sonos mesh networking?
I suppose it wouldn't hurt for me to read up again on Sonos' technology and how the gear gets deployed.
Aside from my own curiousity, the other reason I ask is that several former co-workers of mine currently work for Sonos and I may be able to ping them about your issues.
