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.
What error are you getting exactly?
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”
I keep getting this error and can’t get past this screen. I’m able to pair them as group but can’t add them as surrounds to the beam
Weird. Get a diagnostic code and post it here for Sonos support.
Here is the diagnostic code. 1163540034
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.



router: Xfinity XB6T

switch: Ruckus ICX7150-C12P
Sorry, is the Beam -- or another Sonos device -- wired to the network?
It’s wirelessly connected to network. All of my Sonos speakers are wirelessly connected
I seem to recall another thread with an issue with a Ruckus router. Ah, here:

There's also an FAQ on the Ruckus website:

Now I need to go figure out who in the world Ruckus is, having never heard of them as a company.
I connected Ethernet cable to the Beam and then I was able to connect the surround speakers.
