Sonos 1 Bridge

One of my two bridges started flashing rapidly (white) and it was no longer visible on the app.

I have tried everything (I think) including plugging direct into router and factory reset but nothing has produced the response that I am supposed to get.

Although, sometimes I can get the light to stay solid even though still not “visible”

Does this mean that the bridge itself kaput ?

Mine definitely does and it links directly i to my amplifier.

But then it is the thick end of 15 years old, I guess.

Then, as ​@Pools-3015 suggests, you have two CONNECTs, or CONNECT:AMPs, and one BRIDGE. 

I would recommend, at least temporarily, wiring your Ethernet cable to the working CONNECT, and unplug and remove the BRIDGE. This should get your system working again. Then you can decide if you want to hang things off your WiFi, or leave a Sonos device wired, as in the FAQ I linked. 

The replacement for the CONNECT is the Port, the replacement for the CONNECT:AMP is the Amp. The latter two devices have speaker outputs that you can connect your own speakers to, the first two just connect to your own amplifier with RCA in and outs. 

If you call in, I suspect you’d be eligible for some discounts for replacement devices.

Thanks Airegetlam and everyone one Lea for your collective input. I shall take what I have learned from here and implement what I can.

That will mean some radio silence from me on here in the meantime I try to piece if all together but I shall let you know how I get on.

Thanks again 👍

     Hi again,

    Presumably, the new port would offer the same compatibility as the original ?

    If so, I think I’m good.

    Yes, the new Port is a direct replacement for the older CONNECT. You can look at it on the Sonos sales page to confirm. I suggest purchasing it there, but I have to admit sometimes I’m lured by Best Buy’s ‘open box’ or the need to have a thing ‘right now’, and not wait for shipping, etc. Your mileage may vary, of course.
