Surround Setup Error with Beam

I can’t connect 2 Sonos one speakers as surrounds to my beam. I keep getting an error. I’m able to pair the speakers together and group it with the beam but I can’t add them as surrounds through the app process.

    I add the left and right speaker and then it goes to “Setup Problem. Please check your network connection or the power on the speakers in the room”

    Weird. Get a diagnostic code and post it here for Sonos support.

    Just as a check, you haven’t turned off the radio on your Beam, have you?

    I don’t think so. How do you check or how do you turn it off?

    If the system is in "wireless" mode (using the existing WiFi) it sounds like a potential interaction problem with the router's DHCP server. What make/model of router is it?

    They are connected to the following.

    Sorry, is the Beam -- or another Sonos device -- wired to the network?
