Victrola app cumbersome in staying sync'd with Sonos

The Victrola App is super cumbersome in syncing with Sonos to show available speaker groups, had to force stop the Victrola App several times before it recognized my Sonos speakers on the second time using my Victrola Stream. Maybe a little buyers remorse here.
Love this turntable! The Victrola team provided great support when I need help with some issues I was having. Very easy to set up and simple operation.
1. When unleashing the tone arm, I have to hold up in place when placing on the record, otherwise it wants to automatically swing back to starting position.
2. Not being able to cover while playing the record, it attracts dust and cat hair that sometimes is in the air.
3. The room my audio equipment is in is 2 rooms away from where the router is. This causes the record to ‘cut out’ for 1-2 seconds often. (Moving the router is not an option so instead Ive temporarily placed my TT in the same room as my router (2 rooms away from where I keep my albums and stereo equipment).
4. There seems to be a ‘slowness’ to playing my albums (at times?).
The record player looks great and connects with Sonos very easily. You will want to use the audio delay mode so that it doesn't skip. Unfortunately I had a custom piece of furniture made to fit the record player based on the measurements for the device listed on the website not knowing those measurements don't include the volume knob. So beware the depth is more like 14 inches.
Disconnects frequently. Skips. When it works, it's awesome to be able to stream through my Sonos system. Have only had it for a few months and just not impressed so far.
Happy with the the quality feel. At this price point there should be a 'real' dust cove, hinged in the back. The current one is obviously an after thought.
