New Sonos 5 Refuses to Connect

I have an existing sonos 5 speaker that connected easily and I recently purchased a second sonos 5 for the same room. I have not had any luck trying to “add a product”.  I have disconnected the new speaker and reconnected to see if I could add that product — no luck. I then tried disconnecting and reconnecting the router — no luck adding the product.  I have also tried to disconnect the old sonos 5 and adding the new product — no luck there as well.  I am adding the product with my iPhone 13 and I have turned it off and restated that (thinking that may be an issue) — no luck adding the product.  Any more ideas how I can get this going??  Thanks!

Hi UK Media — you spotted the problem!!  I noticed that the light was solid green.  I had to do a factory reset. After that the process worked flawlessly. 
 

Many thanks for the very quick response!!

Hi

What colour is the Status light on your new device? Are the two devices Gen i or Gen 2?  What version of the Sonos app do you have installed S1 or S2?
