Sonos One and sonos bridge

Hi! In documentation on sonos I read that to use One over WIFI I need Sonos bridge. And in some revues on Sonos Controller App people wrote that in actual version thay can't connect One to the existing WiFi network and it works only wired. If I have router Netgear wndrmacv2 with my WiFi network 2.4 G "W.net", will One be connected to it withuot Sonos Bridge?

    A Bridge (or wiring some other Sonos component) used to be necessary but isn't any more. It should connect fine wirelessly to your router provided you have wireless b/g/n protocols enabled on your router, not just 'n'.

    It is worth checking the Sonos list of known incompatible hardware first:

    You can also wire any Sonos component and get the same setup as the Bridge you read about.

    BTW, any time you are reading about Sonos and see Bridge check the article's date as it hasn't been sold for years, replaced by the Boost.
