Question

Borrowing Sonos

Hi, I borrowed sonos from a friend to use at my party. I cannot connect the speakers using my internet password. Is it even possible for me to connect to sonos using my Wi-Fi connection?

    You'd need to wire one of the speakers to your network first, wait for them to appear in the app and then set your Wi-Fi credentials in the settings. Wired is better though and will mean you don't have to wipe out his Wi-Fi settings, which will probably annoy him when you give them back. Good friend though, no way I'd lend any of my Sonos to anyone!

    After spending hour on this thing, I finally managed to connect one of the speakers. Hopefully, I didn't mess up her Wi-Fi setting...
    Yeah, been friends for 21 years..
    Getting at least one Sonos is on my Christmas wish list. Loving it.
    Thanks for your response.

    Be careful, it's an addiction. My first was a gift from a friend, who'd gotten it at a concert. I now have ~20 devices, give or take. 🙂

    Did you just type 'need'?

    I've got 10. And don't 'need' any of them. You'll see... they multiply like rabbits. 😃

    BCM gets it :)

    Let's see. Bedroom TV 5.1, living room TV 5.1, bathroom, bedroom stereo, kitchen stereo, computer room. I think that's it. Need? Probably none, but love, all of them. I even had one shipped to Thailand while I was there for 4 months working, just because i "needed" it.

    I blame my friend, it's his fault.

    Same here. I went to a New Years Eve party end of 2008. Host had a Radio Shack streaming device... Sound quality was horrible but it was working and quite well. Other end was plugged into his PC and playing a playlist he had set up. I needed to know about the MP3 streaming technology and Googled when I got home. That's when I found Sonos and it's been a love affair since... Hardly slept that night and couldn't wait to get to Best Buy the next day to get the kit. I've even adapted it to my RV and have a Connect and two Play:1s on the road with me. Perfect reuse of the bridge I got for free when I purchased the Connect and Connect:Amp (ZP90 and ZP120 back then).

    Something like 2003? They were founded in 2002, I'm not sure when the first speaker was released.
