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.

I am also having problems connecting my cr100? diagnostic report number is 4491841
Same problem as above - I bought a CR100 from EBay and it does not recognise the system although it does recognise when I press the mute and vol buttons on my play 3 - I submitted diagnostics on number 4511121 - any help would be appreciated

Please go ahead, update your Sonos, then add the CR100, and let us know once done.

Guys, can you push the patch my way I asked first 🙂 Maybe you should give people a way to install those without having to wait full day before finding out their request was disregarded....

I just got a CR100 and it doesn't connect to my network, I have a bridge and all my speaker are shown as hardwired not wifi connected so should be a patch issue, I have uploaded diag 5412357 yesterday

All set, that was a long update! Thanks for the quick response!

Quick suggestion to people in need of this upgrade, make sure that your controller is on power or inside the cradle, this update is long and if the battery of your unit is not in good shape it can die quickly and you could probably end up with a brick..

Hi Daniel,

I received the patch a couple of weeks ago and somehow it auto updated and lost it. I'm having the same problem as ajturner with a CR100.

If you could run the patch update again for me. My submission diagnostic confirmation number is: 5446936.

Thanks!

I'm having exactly the same problem. CR100 worked fine since I've had it. Recently my network switched over to WM:1, so the CR100 would not work. Now I've removed the wifi settings. All of my Sonos units are WM:0 but the CR100 refuses to connecy. It tries, recognising when I press Vol up and mute on any zone player, saying it's connecting and it will take a few mins, then says it can't find any sonos components.

I've run disgnostics 5452872

Hi RogerDonoghue,

I've added the patch to your system. Once you run updates you should be able to connect your CR100. Please let me know if it works.
