So I just got a 2nd hand Sonos Playbase with 2x Play:3 online and it seems like I can’t connect the Playbase on wifi. It works with LAN cable to my router, I can connect it to my sonos app. Now the other problem occur, I can’t connect the surround 2xPlay:3 to the Playbase.

I submitted diagnostics report no 2036271214

This thing happened to me before with my Beam and 2x Play:1, I connect the beam through cable/LAN port and Play:1 through wifi. The surround system was failed to setup but the app has the name(Beam, Play:1, Play:1) but the surround not outputting sound. 
 

I am pretty sure this is bad wifi card on the Playbase, since a lot of this happened in the forum.

Hi Simon,

So I tried to call but its actually overseas so it didn’t go through but I was able to reach out to the seller which is Sonos distributor here in Indonesia (Digital Screen International) and they are trying to contact Sonos via email but still no response.

 

My Playbase has been with them for 2 weeks now. Please kindly help.
