• If your modem isn’t a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos’ automatic
online updates or use a streaming music service, you’ll need to install a wireless router before setting up
Sonos.
Note: Sonos communicates over a 2.4GHz home network supporting
802.11 b/g/n wireless technology. 802.11n only network configurations are not
su
pported—you can either change the router settings to 802.11 b/g/n or connect a
So
nos product to your router.
• Connect a Sonos BOOST or speaker to your router if:
• You have a larger home where the Wi-Fi performance isn’t reliable and you want to strengthen
the
wireless performance of your Sonos system.
• Your Wi-Fi network is already in high demand with streaming video and web surfing and you want to
create a separate wireless network exclusively for your Sonos speakers
.
• Your network is 5GHz only (not switchable to 2.4GHz).
• You have configured your router to support only
802.11n and can’t change the settings to support
802.11 b/g/n.
• For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS driv
e that contains your personal music library
collection to your network router using an Ethernet cable.
