I have some vacation property that has no internet or cell reception. I want to bring some Sonos speakers with me, but I can’t get them to work. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
- I have a router that has the same WIFI information as my home network so any devices that can connect to my home network can also connect this one. Again, this WIFI has no internet.
- I was able to get my Sonos speakers to work on my home network when the internet was disabled (with local files only, no streaming services obviously.)
- I brought a Play 5 to the vacation property, and I confirmed that both my phone and the speaker were connected to the vacation network. The speaker was able to connect to the network either via WIFI or with an ethernet cable.
- The Sonos app on my phone couldn’t find a Sonos network. Perhaps this was because my home network was tied to a different GPS location? The phone app required Location services to be on, so I couldn’t disable that.
- I couldn’t create a new Sonos network without an internet connection.
- I tried to bypass Sonos entirely and use the line-in input on the speaker, but that didn’t work either.
Is there any way to get Sonos speakers to work?
