Jeff, my Bridge is connected to my router via an ethernet cable. My CR100 does connect to the Bridge but when trying to finish the connection the CR100 says that no music components are connected

Hi Jeremy,
If you have a CR100, then at one point you must have had one of your Sonos components connected to your network with an ethernet cable. This was the only way that the Sonos system would work for many years until just recently. You can wire any one Sonos component to your router. If you have a Sonos BRIDGE or BOOST, you can wire this unit, otherwise you can do so with any other Sonos unit.
Jeff. Sorry, please clarify. What do I need to wire to where? Thanks.

Hi Jason,
If you have a wired Sonos unit, there may be something else preventing connection of your CR100. Please try rebooting your router by removing it from power, waiting ten seconds, then plugging it back in. You can also try resetting your CR100 by holding down the top left and top right buttons for a few seconds. If those steps do not work, please submit a diagnostic report and reply with the confirmation number: Submit diagnostic.

Hi Jeremy,
It looks like your Sonos system is connected to your home's wireless network in the new, fully wireless configuration. When your system connects to your home's wireless network SonosNet is disabled. The CR100 can only connect over SonosNet, it can't connect to your home's wireless network. To use your CR100, you can go back to the first wired unit configuration by wiring one of your Sonos units or a BRIDGE or BOOST.

Would be interested in the response... Similar problem but tells me it cannot connect. One of my components already hard wired in.
I have exactly the same problem and have two CR100 controllers that cannot connect. Have tried wiring one of my components into the router but still no response. If I try and connect the bridge it connects but then says there are no music components connected. 
Hi Jeff - have done this. Ref is 4249802. Thanks for your help.

Hi Riccardo,
The CR100 uses the wireless signal created by the Sonos units to connect. When using the Sonos system in the fully wireless mode, the Sonos wireless signal is disabled. The CR100 does not have the ability to log on to your home's wireless network. If you would like to use your CR100, you can wire one of your Sonos components in to your router. This will enable the Sonos wireless signal and allow your CR100 to connect again.
