Product Information

Whether your homeis run exclusively on S1, S2, or a mix of the two, here’s what will be supported in the future: Sonos How do I run two separate Sonos systems? Plan ahead Relaunch the Sonos S1 app. As with the S2 app, it will now ask if you want to set up a new Sonos system or connect to an existing system. This time, select Set up a new Sonos system.

But there is another option: You can split your system. Going this route means that you’ll need to decide which of your newer speakers you want to work with your legacy products (and thus stay on S1) and which ones will break off and form their own system, using S2. When the Sonos application has various framework links, it will consequently alert every one when your cell phone is on one of the organizations. To make the SonosNet network work, at least one of the Sonos speakers should be in a wired connection with your home router with the help of an Ethernet cable. Clean only with dry soft cloth. Household cleaners or solvents can damage the finish on your Sonos products. Some situations where you might want or need to get the Boost include if you have an extensive Sonos speaker system set up or live in a large house. Both of these situations could benefit from having a strong signal throughout your listening room or home.

Replace your Bridge with a Boost

You have a larger home where the WiFi performance isn't reliable and you want to strengthen the wireless performance of your Sonos system. The Bridge removal tool will determine if your Sonos products can reliably connect to your Wi-Fi network or if you should replace your Bridge with a different wired Sonos product.

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. To play music directly from the Google Play Music app to your Sonos system, you must have both the Google Play Music app and the Sonos Controller App installed on your mobile device. Use the supplied power adapter to connect to power outlet (using a third-party power cord will void your warranty). Be sure to use the proper power adapter for your country.

And some of you reading this might assume that improving the connection to your Sonos system will achieve this. You can wirelessly connect your PlayBar to the Sub and rear speakers for a surround sound experience that’s easy to set up and control. All the speakers in the house connected to the Boost will work flawlessly.Depending on which product you have, press and hold the Join button, Play/Pause button, Mute button, or Join button (Sub and Bridge) while you reconnect the power cord. Also, it utilizes 20Mhz wide channels enabling Sonos speakers of similar configurations to connect each other through a dedicated wireless mesh Wi-Fi network. You will need to keep two different Sonos apps (S1 and S2) on your phone or tablet. Depending on which of your products you wanted to control, you would need to use the appropriate app. The two systems cannot talk to one another. If you keep a first-gen Play:5 in your bedroom and decide that your new Sonos Beam should run on S2 in your living room, these devices will never play the same songs in perfect sync the way they do using the S1 app for both. No, the Sonos Bridge does not have a built-in Ethernet port and is not designed to connect wired speakers to your system.

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. SonosNet is a mesh network that Sonos uses to connect its own speakers. SonosNet comes into action when you are grouping two or more Sonos speakers together. The biggest factor that decides if SonosNet or Wi-Fi wireless mode is better for Sonos products is the presence of another wireless network around you. If the lights are flashing orange and white AND the volume automatically mutes, this indicates the player is experiencing a fault condition.
