I’m not able to connect to my Sonos system. I travel from from one place to another Both has worked. 

I did reset the router, I connect directly to the router via cable. I de-install and installed the software again. It is on a private network. Any ideas people

Hi @Rolleke 

Thanks for your post!

Assuming your PC is on the same network (which is marked as Private by Windows), has an exception in the firewall for Sonos and has no VPN active, you should be getting connected to your Sonos system.

If the system you can’t connect to is the one with a Beam and four Play:1s, only the Beam is currently connected to the cloud. If you didn’t leave the router off or at least 30 seconds when you rebooted it, please try this.

If you still can’t connect, however, I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team, who have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your Sonos system and what it reports. They will also be able to remotely connect to you PC to investigate.

I hope this helps.

Should but NO

I will consider it. On my mobile it works. 

 

Still not able to connect. Try everything I could read and check the settings. No success.

Hi @Rolleke 

I’m sorry to hear you are still having trouble with this. I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team who have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your Sonos system and what it reports.

I did contact technical support and did check what they told me. Without any luck till now.
