Sonos boost light flashing orange?

The light on my Sonos boost is flashing orange and won't connect.

When your light is flashing orange, it means your boost is looking for a household to join. This usually occurs when you are setting up your Boost for the first time. If you have already set up your Boost and I just started doing this, reset your Boost by unplugging it, waiting 30 sec and plugging it back in.

The boost goes back to green flashing from orange and will not connect?

I have tried it directly into the host router and behind my firewall with no difference. Also different times of day as my internet is not always stable. I did not see where it just refused to connect like this
