I have a system consisting of 7 Sonos speakers integrated with multiple Amazon devices including  multiple  Echo speakers. I am moving and will be using a new Google Fiber network.  What is the best way to migrate my system to the new Network?

Thanks Bruce. 

That's just what what I needed.

Just a followup question.  Can I just take my existing router and relocate it to my new address?  It's Google Fiber and there is  existing Google Fiber service with an active router there.

Thanks

Dave

Hi @Goodoldave , another suggestion, if you can get into the configuration page/s of the new router, is to set the SSID and password to the same values as on your current system. 

Then, when you connect your speakers etc to the new router they'll think they never left home. 

No guarantees, particularly if your new system is a mesh,  but worth a try. 

Cheers.

It’s a good point, as the Sonos devices would connect to a network SSID, and not a specific device. I wonder why it isn’t in the FAQ, as it ultimately should be the easiest to ‘set up’.

Yes, that's a much better write-up than mine (and the official one!). Good luck with the move, @Goodoldave
