hello there

i have just created a google mesh wifi (not google nest) and now want to connect my Sonos system to that, my problem is in order to change wifi network i have to plug an ethernet cable in to the new network router which in this case is the google mesh, but the mesh only has one port which is to be connected to the main internet router, so basically Sonos is not compatible with Google mesh ? can someone help me pleae, i go in to network settings on the app and the only wifi network it sees is the current one/old one which i no longer want to use for wifi.

many thanks

hi there so i did again as you suggested and turned off my main router wifi, the sonos speaker then managed to play music connected via cable to the google router, after that i went through the wifi setup for the new google it had found and it was plain sailing like normal, so many thanks for your time and efforts that did the trick ! very helpful.

Let's step back a bit here.

As you have connected a Sonos device via an Ethernet cable, your Sonos devices now use their own mesh network called Sonos net. When doing this, it's best if you don't have wi-fi credentials entered into your Sonos App. All of your devices will now connect to your Google mesh network and not your main router. Are you sure that your phone is connected to your Google wi-fi and not your main router?

Remember: Sometimes Red Wine helps :)
