Your Home Network

To access music services, Internet radio, and any digital music stored on your computer or Network-Attached Storage (NAS)
device, your home network must meet the following requirements:

Network requirements

Important: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as Sonos is designed
to provide you with online software updates. Your Sonos system must be registered to receive
these updates, so be sure to register during the setup process. We do not share your e-mail
address with other companies.
• High-speed DSL/cable modem, or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection for proper playback of Internet-based
music services. (If your Internet service provider only offers Satellite Internet access, you may experience playback
issues due to fluctuating download rates.)
• If your modem is not a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos' automatic online up-
dates, or stream music from an Internet-based music service, you must install a router in your home network. If you
do not have a router, purchase and install one before proceeding.
• If you are going to use a Sonos controller application on an Android™ smartphone, iPhone
other tablet, you may need a wireless router in your home network. Please visit our Web site at
http://faq.sonos.com/apps for more information.
• Connect at least one Sonos component to your home network router using an Ethernet cable, and then you can add all
other Sonos components wirelessly.
• For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS drive that contains your personal music library collection to
your home network router using an Ethernet cable.
