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 Skymanjames,

I've applied the patch to your account so you should be able to run updates and then connect your CR100s. Please let me know if you have any troubles doing so.



Hi thanks

Next question what is the next process as my CR100 are factory reset , so just wanted to know what steps next after you have applied patch ?


Please check for updates on your Sonos system, here's how.

Once you've checked for updates your system should have the patch applied. At this point you can follow the on-screen instructions on your CR100 to connect each one in turn.

Hello Support,

I have been reading this forum and I appear to have the same problem. I have sent diagnostics as required. Ticket 6095529. Can I please have the patch too.
I have a ZP100 connected directly to my router, I have 2 Play3's and 1 Play5 and a Bridge that isn't in use.. I have bought two CR100s but they won't connect and show the same message as everyone here. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
