SONOS USER GUIDE

Getting started

Here's what you'll need:
• Wi-Fi—have your network name and password ready. See
• Mobile device—connected to the same Wi-Fi. You'll use this for setup.
• The Sonos app—you'll use it to set up and control your Sonos system (install it on the mobile device
you're using for setup).
• A Sonos account—If you don't have an account, you'll create one during setup. See
for more information.

New to Sonos?

setup.
Once your Sonos system is set up, you can use your computer to control the music too. Get the app at

Sonos requirements

Your Sonos speakers and the mobile device with the Sonos app need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Wireless setup

Setting up Sonos on your home Wi-Fi is the answer for most homes. You just need:
• High-speed DSL/cable modem (or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection).
• 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n wireless home network.
Note: Satellite internet access may cause playback issues.
If you ever start to experience temperamental Wi-Fi, you can easily switch to wired setup.
Wired setup
Connect a Sonos Boost or speaker to your router with an Ethernet cable if:
• Your Wi-Fi is slow, temperamental, or doesn't reach all the rooms where you want to use Sonos.
• Your network is already in high demand with streaming video and internet usage and you want a separate
wireless network just for your Sonos system.
• Your network is 5 GHz only (not switchable to 2.4 GHz).
