CR100 won't connect, but iPad, ZP80, ZP100 are connected and working a-ok!!

Everything used to work perfectly….Then it all stopped working…so, started by rebooting my router.

I then hard-wired ZP80 and ZP100 via Ethernet to get them to connect.  SUCCESS! I can now control them both on my WiFi network from my iPad SONOS app.  That's all good!

HOWEVER, I cannot get the CR100 to associate with the ZP80 or the ZP100.  

How can I get the CR100 to re-join the party?

I've tried putting both ZP80 and ZP100 into the paring mode (pressing MUTE and VOL-UP)…and they both blink amber…but the CR100 just stares back at me, and eventually times-out.  

When it times out, after a few minutes, it says that no SONOS components are present, but I know better…and so does my iPad, which has no problem controlling both units.

I've also tried resetting the CP100 by pressing the following sequence:

<left soft button>
<middle soft button>
<mute button>
<middle soft button>
<back button>
..then scrolling down to "Turn Off CR"
..and pressing the Enter button

Once I put the CR100 in the dock, and it reboots, I try to pair it again…but no love.

Thanks.

BTW, see 4195270 diagnostics…which probably won't help, given that the ZP80, ZP100 and iPad are working just fine.  It's the CR100 that can't see the other units, so it's likely not going show up in the diagnostic report, either.

Hi Jeff,

Just realized my CR100 won't connect. Can you add the patch to my system? Diagnostics Submission Confirmation #: 5070251

Thanks

Maybe I better go back to what I had. I can't update my software or my zp80s right now.

Just for my software on my computer, I'm receiving a Can't Update with an 1101 error to update the software on the computer. Not so worried about CR100 as my ZP80s were running 5.4 and now can't update to 6.0 which is what everything else was running on.

Hi Greg,

There's a bit of wireless interference showing in your diagnostic data. Also there are a couple Sonos units which seem to have lost their network addresses. This is likely due to the interference preventing proper communication between the Sonos units. Please try changing the Sonos wireless channel and see if that allows your system to complete the update. Here's how to change wifi channels.

Hi Jeff
I was on channel six and changed to 11 and 1 to no avail. Not sure if this might be it, Jeff, but I received an email recently that thanked me for participating in the Beta system. I came home from work yesterday and my system was running 6.0 instead of 5.5. Would this have anything to do with it?

I removed the Sonos software from my computer and downloaded the latest version from the Sonos site (5.5) and reinstalled it. It still indicates there is a software update and when I try to update the software controller on my computer it says "try again".

Can I get out to the beta and back to 5.5?

Hi Greg,

The beta program may have something to do with the update error. Sometimes the beta is not properly flagged on an account. You can choose to opt out of the beta, here's how.

If you would prefer to remain on the beta program, let me know and I'll investigate further.
