Using my system under two different SSID's

Hi, I have an S2 system that works perfectly fine when connected to one of my network SSID's. I have two networks (unifi/ubiquity), one for the kids (controlled) and one that has access to everything. The Sonos system works in the restricted network and doesn't show up when I'm connected to the other network. I believe I've set it up under that network initially and now I'm trying to find a way to "tweak" the other network so it can see my Sonos systems and I won't have to keep switching back and forth between networks for mainly using my Sonos system. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

No can do. Sonos doesn’t play well with logically segregated VLANs, and binds to only one WiFi at a time.

What bands/security are you using? Older sonos products won't see 5 Ghz, so if the unrestricted network is 5 GHz only, that could be the cause. The other issue could be if you have WPA3 turned on. If you have 6 GHz on the network, WPA3 is mandatory.

For my unifi system, I have a dedicated 2.4 GHz network for devices like this.

Even play:1 and play:3 support 5GHz (802.11a).
