I have 2 Play 1s, a Beam and a Connect Amp.  One Play1 And the Beam connect and work fine.  The other Play1 and the Connect Amp are recognised by the app but fail connection, and for the Connect Amp will not update the software so can't complete.  I do not understand how 2 items work but 2 do not.  Have had 2 phone sessions wth agents with no success.

How can half the system work and half not especially when the play1s are identical.  Surely it can't be anything to do with my router or wifi.

I was in the process of updating my sonos but am now having second thoughts unless I can get a handle on the the systems reliabilty.

 

 

Do you get an error 1000 when updating?

If so there are a couple things you can try:

  1. Connect the problem devices to your network with an ethernet cable and try the update again.
  2. If they are already connected, use a computer (PC or MAC) to update the problem devices.

Some older devices have had issues updating, and users have found success with these steps.

Many thanks for the response.  Yes have tried using the ethernet connection several times with no success.  I also looked to try an alternative device, other than my mobile, to house the Sonos systems app but found that my Samsung tablet cannot work with the controller  app and neither will my pc.  When I try to download the necessary systems app with the black logo to my pc I only get the desktop app with the yellow logo.  Very frustrating as I want to update my system but not unless I'm in control of it.

Sounds like you are using the S1 mobile app. On the Sonos download site there are both apps available for PC or Mac. Just scroll down on the page to find it. it has “SONOS S1” on it.

If you are using the S2 app then the app you downloaded is the correct one to use.

Make sure you have the latest updates installed. This would make updating easier.
