I have just purchased a Sonos Ray for my TV.  The TV is connected to the internet by an ethernet cable.  I don’t have a WiFi network as that has proved unreliable in my situation.  So, I want to use ethernet to connect the Ray.

My Android phone is 6 years old running on Android v5.1, so it definately can’t run the Sonos App 2!      I’ll need a new phone.

But before I buy the phone I’d like to know exactly how App 2 goes about setting up a wired Ray.  Everything I’ve found so far on the Web relates to WiFi setups.  Can someone please point me to a step by step explanation of a wired setup?  I could then make sure that I get the appropriate phone and ethernet setup at the TV end.

Thanks in advance,

Unless you find a way to connect the phone to Ethernet, there is no way to setup a Sonos speaker without WiFi.  It is in the requirements:

Network requirements

 

General requirements

  • High speed wired internet connection such as cable, fiber, or DSL
  • WiFi router
  • Sonos app and all Sonos products are on the same subnet

Thanks jgatie,

I’ll concentrate on the phone to Ethernet connection first.

Your wifi is so unreliable it can't even be used temporarily to set up a speaker?

Thanks 106rallye,

I no longer have a wifi network - I took it down.

But if all else fails I will try reinstating it.
