Sonos Setup Options

Standard wireless setup

With software update 5.1, Sonos can now operate on your home WiFi network. This setup is ideal for:

• Any home with good WiFi coverage (wireless setup is dependent on your router’s WiFi broadcast power)

Alternate setup

During the setup process, you may be prompted to temporarily connect one of your players to your router with an Ethernet

cable if your device does not support standard wireless setup (see the Compatible Operating Systems table below). At the

end of the setup process, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable and move your Sonos player to a different location.

BOOST (SonosNet™) setup

Connecting a BOOST, BRIDGE or Sonos player to your router permanently with an Ethernet cable creates a dedicated wireless

network exclusively for your Sonos system so you get reliable wireless performance no matter how large your home or how

many WiFi devices you use. (This setup is required for some household configurations; see Sonos Setup System

Requirements below.)

If you already have a BRIDGE, we recommend you leave it connected - you are already experiencing the benefits of having a

separate wireless network exclusively for your Sonos system.

BOOST setup is ideal for:

• Larger homes where the WiFi performance isn’t reliable or doesn’t reach all of the rooms where you want music.

• Homes where the WiFi network is already in high demand with streaming video and web surfing and you want to create

a dedicated wireless network exclusively for your Sonos speakers.

• Sonos 3.1 or 5.1 home theater system setup (BOOST setup is required if you want to pair a SUB and/or a pair of rear

surround speakers with your PLAYBAR).
