Why can’t the Sonos app find my speakers?

The phone and speakers must be able to discover each other on the local network. Guest isolation, VPN, different VLANs/SSIDs or permissions can block discovery.

What to check

Phone SSID/VLAN; guest network; local-network permission; VPN; mDNS/multicast.

When to get help from a person

Escalate to network engineering for VLAN/multicast design.
