solved:IKEA Symphonisk SONOS speaker needs wifi router reboot each time

IKEA Symphonisk SONOS speaker can't be found on LAN or Sonos app

needs wifi router reboot each time


So exciting $99 Sonos wi-fi speaker from IKEA called Symphonisk.  Downloaded the Sonos app for the iPhone and setup was the easiest thing ever. Did the wave calibration thing.   Listened to the radio via the Tunein streaming service and from iTunes. Great.

Couple of hours later, the app can't kind find the speaker any more, until the router is rebooted. 

Fix 1:  Add the Symphonisk to your routers fixed ip range

Fix 2: Plugged the Symphonisk into the router directly with ethernet cable.

Either one or both might fix your problem.  I did both.
