Sonos BRIDGE - Expand your Wireless Hi-Fi

Product Information

No, Sonos Move does not work in a mesh network. It can act as a host speaker that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable (i.e. wired connection). From the Settings tab, tap System > Add Boost or Bridge and follow the on-screen prompts to add this product to your Sonos system. If you have solid WiFi throughout your listening room or home, you likely don’t need these devices because your Sonos system should function just fine without them. The Sonos player may need to be reset. Disconnect the power cord for 5 seconds, and then reconnect. Wait for the Sonos player to restart.

The Sonos system can play music from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your home network where you have shared music folders. During the setup process, you are guided through the process of accessing your local music library (such as your iTunes library). Over time, you may wish to add or remove folders from this list.Well, obviously, SonosNet is advantageous for Sonos products as it provides them with a dedicated wireless network to stay connected among themselves. The Sonos Boost can improve the overall wireless performance of your Sonos system, which may result in improved sound quality. However, it is not designed to directly improve the sound quality of your speakers. Using a handheld Sonos controller: From the Settings menu, touch Advanced Settings -> SonosNet Channel. Choose another SonosNet (wireless) channel from the list.

I know many audiophiles who will stop at nothing to get the best gear and equipment to help achieve improved audio quality. And some of you reading this might assume that improving the connection to your Sonos system will achieve this. If any Sonos products are missing, follow the steps in our article about products missing from the Sonos app. Using the Sonos Controller App for Mac: Select Preferences -> Advanced from the Sonos menu. On the General tab, choose another SonosNet (wireless) channel from the list.Follow the steps in the app to get your Boost connected to the router and then to your Sonos system. If you don't have any open ports on your router, you can temporarily wire the Boost to the second Ethernet port on the Bridge until the setup is finished.

Thankfully, if you decide to downgrade from S2 to S1, it’s now possible. To do so, you’ll need to follow the factory reset instructions above for each product you want to downgrade. Assuming you don’t have any open ports on your switch, wire the Sonos Boost to your second Ethernet choice on the Bridge until you complete the arrangement cycle. Sonos Beam, Sonos Roam, and Sonos Move currently can’t work with SonosNet. The arrangement that works includes, setting up Sonos Beam or Sonos Move to your router through Ethernet cable (i.e. wired connection). Do not disable the Wi-Fi (wireless radio) settings on the Beam or Move. To enable the Wi-Fi settings on Beam or Move, go to Room settings and then Select Beam or Move (whichever Sonos you are using), now:Sonos Bridge and Boost are devices connected to the Wi-Fi router to create an exclusive wireless network for your Sonos speaker. This is an excellent way to augment the performance of your wireless network to provide an uninterrupted listening experience. Think of the Sonos Boost as a new laptop and the Bridge as an old desktop from the early 2000s. Both computers could technically do similar tasks, but no one would want to deal with the poor performance of the 20-year-old desktop compared to the new laptop. Using the Sonos Controller App for PC: Select Settings -> Advanced from the Manage menu. On the General tab, select another wireless channel from the list.
