I have a RV325 Router along with 4 WAP4410n access points. I cant seem to get my sonos system to work on the netwotk. I can "see" them on the ip tables but there is no communications.
The SONOS site recommneds:
Cisco | RV Series | Wiring more than one Sonos component to the router causes a broadcast storm. | Log into the router's administration panel and navigate to L2 Switch > RSTP and check 'Protocol Enable' on all ports. |
but I don't see where this is done on the cisco interface for the router.
Any help would be appreciated

Michael, I'm having the same issue, were you able to find out where to adjust the setting?

So there may be a manual way to set STP through a ssh into the router but I took a different path after doing more digging.
The broadcast storm occurs whenever the router has to be used as a switch to route traffic to a hard wired sonos device. Meaning as long as 1+ sonos devices are hard wired directly to the router, and the supposed STP fix isn't implemented, you'll have issues.
There were a few solutions I came across:
-Disabling wireless on the sonos devices (advanced knowledge required and assuming all devices can be hard wired), as SonosNet (used in wireless) is what uses STP.
Or (the solution I used)
-Put a STP friendly switch off the router and have any and all hard wired (and wireless?) sonos devices below that switch. (Meaning no hardwire connection from a sonos into the router whatsoever, even if convenient). The variant of this solution that I used was to actually use an old sonos 'Bridge' device off of the router first, which then was connected to my Play:5 (near my router and originally the problem maker), then to the subsequent switch and additional sonos devices off of that switch.
Or
-Figure out how to enable STP on the router (I still haven't figured out how to do this)
Hope this helps!
