They can connect to you router and other speakers wireless via wifi. The app is there for setup and as a controller, but isn’t involved in the actual connection between speaker or getting any audio from services.
I’m curious if they’re PLAY:5 gen 1 or PLAY:5 gen 2, or Sonos Fives?
The original (gen 1) can only run the operating system S1, where as gen 2, the Sonos Fives, and the PLAYBAR/Sub combination can all run the S2 operating system.
