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.

Evening all,

Just had a move around in the house and the CR100 won't connect . I've submitted a diagnostic report with No. 6567089.

Many Thanks


Hi Fiona,

There's a CR100 showing up in your diagnostic report. Is this a different CR100? Has the CR100 which won't connect been connected to your system before? Has it been factory reset?

Dear greatest support staff, I have a similar issue with one of my two CR100, it will not connect. I have submitted a diagnostic 6603961, and maybe this patch would do the trick? I didnt use the controller for several years, and may think it is lagging in updating?
System is up to date as far as I can see except for this controller. System is connected to internet router via Lan from a Sonos bridge.
Looking fwd to hear from you. Btw, I have for some reason registered the system under 2 accounts, xxxxx@gmail (2011), and xxxxxyahoo.com 2008).

Hi

I think it was this thread I used before...here goes!

I had a CR100 connected that worked after running a diagnostic on my system. I recently changed broadband provider and had to set up my system from scratch, now the CR100 isn't connecting to it. Can this be set up again?

Edit: I've just read the reply above. Do I need/can I have a case number to call please?

Dear greatest support staff, I have a similar issue with Two of my three CR100, they will not connect. I have had them all working prior to a recent move to a New home and I could get one of the units to connect to the bridge that I use for the sonos system but when the other two try they just dont find any system to connect to any help on this matter would be of great help. I have reset them and tried to connect but with no luck. Any assistance with this would be appreciated. I haven't used the controller for several years, and may think it is lagging in updating?
