Controlling via internet / 3G

It makes no sense to use only WiFi to control Sonos devices. I turn WiFi off if not really needed to avoid unnecessary harmful radiations and of course listening to music doesn't belong to the list of activities justifying going wireless. Instead of using just broadcast over the local network, why not allowing to NAT the devices and simply configure the controller application (especially mobile apps) also for accessing via the internet?

It can't because UPnP, the basis for Sonos control, requires all units to be on the same subnet.

By the way, you resurrected a 4+ year old thread. I highly doubt any of the original posters requesting this feature are still here. Matter of fact, he's probably curled up in the fetal position under a mylar blanket in a tin foiled lined room. 😃

Haha. Fair point. I wonder if there could be a vpn connection to the router and then you would be on the same subnet?
