BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?

I am looking for your help.  We recently switched from Sonos to BlueSound to get higher streaming rates.  So far we have had consistent problems and issues(!!).  Specifically, about 50% of the time my and my wife's BlueSound app does not recognize the Node 2i's.  When I delete the app, reinstall it and reconnect the Nodes, we again have the same problems at least 50% of the time.  It is simply a joke of a product and I find we are not alone.  I have tried just about everything.

Also, when I go online to get help, I find that I am not alone and there is a tsunami of negative (to the degree of very hostile) comments about BlueSound and for the most part it is the same issue.  I have tried just about everything and I am about to simply trash/sell mine and go back to Sonos.  If I do go back to Sonos, I will also leave a stream of bad comments on every forum I can since going back to Sonos will represent a big financial loss to me simply because Bluesound is an irresponsible/deceptive company at my expense.

Alternatively, I just want it to reliably work.  Do you you have and advice and/or guidance to get Bluesound to reliably work?  Is there a better alternative to to get higher bit rates thank Bluesound?

Thank you in advance for your help.  Dave

Hi everyone ...

I have set up multiple node 2 systems ..... wired , wireless ....  don’t expect a 30$ Buffalo access point/ router to do the same job as a 100$ router/ access point or as a Orbi mesh network .  
As I have mentioned previously I stayed systems for speaker manufacture at audio shows using a Node2 , usb thumb drive , and a Cisco wifi router . With no issues .... at multiple shows . 
For demos at trade shows it has to be bullet proof ! Never had a problem . 

The units are sound , but you need to make sure your infrastructure is there . 
Be safe

good hunting
