Connecting multiple speakers thru wifi

Having issues using 2 Sonos roams at the same time.   Both “connect” but music will only play from one, when I try to apply changes for both to play, then sound goes away on both speakers, until I revert back to only one playing

Not sure why you can’t answer my question.  If you owned an ERA 100-2 room what speaker would YOU buy to group, to accomplish a whole house system.  

 

Anything listed here (Except for the Ace headphones): https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop

In other words, there are no special requirements to accomplish whole house audio.  Just buy whatever Sonos unit you wish to buy and they will all work together to give whole house audio.  That’s all you need to know. 

PS - All the posters in this thread are users like yourself.  Sonos employees are marked as such.  We are simply users and it is not our product.  Just an FYI.

We have the Sonos era 100-2 room and a single era 100 for a total of 3.  After downloading the app, going through set up until complete.  We open the app and it doesn’t recognize any of them are connected.  Please help.

Sadly you kind of buried your post in a different topic, I only noticed it by accident.

Did you use the App to create a Sonos system for your first 300 and then use the App’s ADD function to add the other speakers to that system?

If you set up three different systems, by also setting up the other two speakers, not ADDing them you’d be where you are now.

Pick one speaker. Power down the others. Power up ONE, Factory Reset it. Use the App that is connected to the first speaker to ADD it to that system. Then do the third the same way.
