Constantly loses connection requiring reset

I'm taking time to post this review after several (frustrating) years of having the Move, so that should speak volumes. The sound and portability are great when it's working. But it constantly loses wifi connection and requires factory reset. Often the reset requires many attempts. For the $ this product is not worth the trouble.
The sounds quality is great and the option of being Bluetooth is great, the only issue I have is when I charge it the microphone light stays on when I take it off and I have to reset the move for it to even turn back on, nothing terrible just annoying sometimes.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
I own a second, weekend home. I have two separate Sonos networks, one in each home. I was excited to use the MOVE speaker outdoors at each of my homes. And, technically, I can. BUT - I have to reset to factory settings every time. So....every weekend I have to factory reset to use the weekend house Sonos network, then when I get back to my weekday home, I have to factory reset AGAIN. Every week. I "would have thought" Sonos would be able to remember multiple Sonos networks and be able to automatically join/re-join. Great speaker, lousy experience. Disappointed.
The Sonos Move is easy to set up, and use. The battery life is amazing! Best part of it its wireless, and connects to existing Sonos products simlessley.
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Free Control Options, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
I teetered on this purchase for like 6 months and I definitely made the right choice. Sound is excellent and the battery lasts a long time. I took this to my buddy's vacation home last weekend and we used it all night and never depleted battery. Sound filled a two story 1500 square foot house just fine.
I bought the Move because I have an ARC system for home theater and I like it very much. But I'm not at all impressed with the Move. Set up is not easy and after 2 weeks of trying to integrate it into Google Home, it's still pretty much worthless as a part of my home system.
