Hi Jeff,

Just wanted to say thanks for all your help. Your colleagues worked me through the problem on the phone. After checking routers, ping speeds etc...turned out a simple factory reset of the primary unit connected to the router fixed everything. Somehow some info was hung somewhere in the spokes causing a problem. At any rate, you guys have the best customer support of any major company in business. Kudos to you guys, the backbone of the company!

Hi Mw,

I've added the patch to your account so you should be able to connect your CR100 once you've run updates on your system.

Hi 5M1THY,

It's likely that your Sonos system is more up-to-date than your CR100. Try resetting the CR100 by holding down the top right and top left buttons for a few seconds. Once the device is rebooted, try the update again. If it doesn't work, please send in a new diagnostic report and reply here with the confirmation number.

Hi 5M1THY,

The CR100 is running a pretty old version of the software. We've made an adjustment though, please try updating the CR100 again.

Hi there,
I read this whole thread and I have similar problems I need help with. Until recently everything was working fine, but suddenly two CR100 controllers I have showed only one CONNECT player on my network, which ironically was not showing up on my Mac Desktop or iPhone controller which showed all the other players. I factory reset that CONNECT controller and tried to connect to my SONOS network (my controller shows that the network correctly identified its MacID) but it would not connect. So now I have a network with 7 players, BUT one is missing and will not connect and my two CR100 controllers don't show any music playing players. I tried factory reseting one of the CR100 controllers an reconnected, but still not luck. Please help. I submitted diagnostics under number: 5158483.

I too am having the same porblem after setting up a new Wi-Fi system. The Sonos Connect:AMP is connected directly to the router via ethernet. I am able to connect and play music using my computer and smartphone devices, however the CR100 controller does not want to connect after several attempts of unplugging my Sonos and wireless devices.

Hi Ethandel,

The patch has been added to your system, please run updates and see if you can then connect your CR100s.

Hi Trusha,

To get your CR100 connected we'll need to add a patch to your system's information. To do this I'd like to see some data from your Sonos. Please send in a diagnostic report and reply here with the confirmation number. Here's how to submit reports.

Jeff,
thanks. I tried to apply the update through my Mac desktop controller. At the end of the process it gave me an error message with a link to "try Again". When I clicked to try again, it said there were no updates available. I actually have 4 CR100 controllers around the house. 3 of them are now showing only one of the zones. The 4th says that there is an update needed but when I pressed to get the controller to update it says it cannot communicate with Sonos. Finally, I still cannot add again one of the Connect units that used to be a Zone in the system after I factory reset it. Next steps?
