How to setup a wired Ray?

Question

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:
