      I'd suggest to be extremely careful with SonosNet and wiring things, so that you do not crash your entire network by producing loops. Certainly would NOT recommend to disable (R)STP on the switches.

        That sounds pretty awesome, I will definitely look in to it more.

        I probably should start using STP as well.

        Did you really check your cables?

          Sounds awesome.  If they could only act as access points too!

          If you use Android-based devices, you can install the Sonos app on them and there's an advanced setting to allow Android devices to connect to the SonosNet mesh network as well. They'll only be devices on the network though, not full mesh nodes like the Sonos devices are. Don't expect super performance out of it though… streaming video while connected probably won't go too well.

            Right, it would be for business stuff.
