I have the same problem where I am unable to connect any of my CR100s to my otherwise working Sonos system. I've submitted diagnostic number 4578479. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi Saro,

Can you send us another diagnostic report? I'd like to check and make sure the update was applied properly.

Hi, Jeff. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! When I check for updates (using the desktop controller on my Mac) it says "No Update Required"

I do have the "Automatically check for updates" box checked in my Advanced Settings, so maybe it saw the update and applied it automatically?

In any case, I'm still unable to connect my CR100. It prompts me to press the button on my bridge, they appear to find each other -- controller says it's trying to connect, orange light flashes on bridge -- but then I get the "This controller was unable to connect to a Sonos component. Please try again. (1)" message.

Hi Saro,

I've flagged your system for the update. Please check for updates on your Sonos controller. Once your system is updated you should be able to add your CR100s back to your system. Please let me know if it doesn't work.

Can you please add the controller patch to my account too? Confirmation number is 
Thanks John. That indicates that the CR100 is seeing the first connection signals, but isn't able to complete the process which is likely due to a network issue, or a connection problem.

I'd recommend rebooting the wireless router there to start with. You can just unplug the router for 10-15 seconds and plug it back in. When the router is back up, try to connect again.

If that fails, a good step is to confirm that the wireless network isn't getting too much interference. The diagnostic does show some interference which shouldn't be too bad, but it's possible it's just a little too much for the CR100 to cope with. You can change the channel on your system under Manage > Settings. Advanced Settings. Try channel 11 and see if the controller can connect.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the prompt response, @Ryan! I applied the update. I'm still receiving "This Controller was unable to connect to a ZonePlayer or Bridge. Please try again. (1)" message on the CR100. The ZonePlayer is connected to the DSL router via ethernet. It appears as if it's acknowledging the connection attempt immediately when the Mute  and Vol+ are pressed on the ZonePlayer. It always times out with the same message above. Just re-submitted diagnostics in case it helps, confirmation 4571644. Mahalo!

Just got you flagged for that update Ruben. Your system is also showing some wireless interference, so if you're still unable to connect that CR100 let us know.

Will do. Just to confirm - when I try to update from my android is app, it says the system is up to date. The issue is only with my cr100s.

A good start would be to reboot the router followed by your Sonos players. Make sure you unplug the power for a few minutes, then plug it back in. When they're back up, try updating from a different controller.

Thanks

Hi - Thanks for the quick response - esp on a Saturday morning. My controller now connects to the system (yay!) but I get the following action messages and resulting error messages . For each zone: "Zone software is new Select to update system" After I try updating any zone: "Error updating the controller Internal error (1)" What are my next steps?

Hi Jon,

I have added the patch to your account. Before checking for updates, please reboot your Köket unit. This unit is having some communication issues and is not operating in the mesh network as it should be.

Once the Köket unit is rebooted, please check for updates and run any that you find. When your system has been updated you should be able to add your CONTROL back to your system.

Please let me know if you run into any troubles getting everything working.
