Sonos bridge failure- what to do with system

I have an older system with a Bridge that just failed due to a bad power source. My speakers are in the walls and I can't connect them directly to the router. Should I buy a Boost if possible or see if I can find a new power source for the Bridge and get a few more years out of it? Thanks

If you can find a BOOST, it should work, it was the replacement for the BRIDGE. But both devices have been ‘retired’, although still supported in software. You’re probably better off hanging your Sonos system directly off your WiFi. See the wireless and wired systems FAQ, along with the associated FAQs. 

You should be able to find a power supply of unknown quality in various places, if you so choose. I’ve never used one, I can’t recommend one to you.

Ok, thanks, that looks as though it might work. The key piece (i think) being that you have to have 1 of the speakers hard wired in the first place to gets the apps working, so that you can then go in and change the network settings etc… i’m not bothering at this stage, as i’m “not willing” at the moment, but good to know that i potentially don’t need to leave a speaker in the hall attached to the router
