BRONZE MemberWe have a couple of Beolink speakers wirelessly connected throughout the home: BL28, B18 with essence MK2, BS A5, BP M3, BP A6. Our Ubiquity Unify network works with 3 accespoints, all cabled.
With the use of Multiroom sometimes itโs works great (I mean the music is synchronized), and suddenly one ย of more speakers hicks and the music plays not at the same time, terrible. What can I Do?
Our Unify network is updated, with local controller software on a cloudkey, the wireless connections are good (the 3 accespoints cover the house perfectly), also the speakers have good connection. Also I tried to change the Latency settings in de B&O app, but nothing helpt ?
Maybe someone can explain me how the Beolink Multiroom system works technically? So it gives an idea of the possible solution. With Sonos I know for example that the speakers create their one Mesh network, but with B&O I think this is different.
Thanks a lot!

By the way nowadays Sonos only work as a Mesh network, if one of the devices is hardwired.
Otherweise it works over the regular wifi network (which of course can be a Mesh network).MM

BRONZE MemberUnfortunately the document doesnโt give answers for now. Youโre right with Sonos, it only creates a mesh network when 1 speaker is cabled or when you use a Sonos boost.
Hopefully someone recognizes my problem, maybe a combination with the Unify network (settings?)
3 December 2023 at 05:49 #50904BRONZE MemberSince three months I use a Unify router with already installed AP’s. Although most (if possible) B&o is LAN connected. That said an Essense and two M3 are WiFi connected. Until now I have hardly to none sync problems.
General try-outs to reduce sync problems (AP’s are integrated part of Unify setup):
- Setย fixed IP address
- Use only 2.4GHz band
- Set on predominant channel.
note: I myself use these settings

BRONZE MemberThanks! I donโt have a router from Unify, but gave every speaker a fixed IP. The 2.4ghz recommendation is interesting, because I just tried to boost the 5 ghz for problem solving. Iโll try this by switch off the 5 ghz for a period. I already use fixed channels (not automatic) this gave indeed more stability, but not a 100% fix.

did you try the system already with the router’s wifi switched off?
does every AP it’s own name? Or do they have the same name?

BRONZE MemberThe router WiFi is switched off. All APโs have different names.

BRONZE MemberAt first glance disabling 5ghz works! When only use 2.4ghz every thing work fine, when enable 5ghz again problems. I made a new WiFi network with 2.4ghz, so the default WiFi network can work with 2.4 and 5 ghz (laptops and telephones have better connection with 5ghz). Hopefully this does the job ?
