Setup Play 3

14 replies

I have four Play 3 units bought some years ago. I have one attached to my ADSL gateway and it works OK as do the other three.

I now want to use one in my workshop, I have a new, different 5G internet there from TMobile that works fine.

What must I do to be able to use one of the Play 3 devices in my workshop and my other WiFi network?

Is it true that one MUST connect it to the gateway via ethernet in order to do this? I use the Windows desktop app to control Sonos.

You may want to call Sonos Support to discuss it. We in the public don’t have access to the same ‘hard’ data that they do.

When you speak directly to the Support staff, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.

OK finally got it sorted out, I’m looking forward to retiring, I’ve been a programmer since the late 70’s and cant take much more of this absurd industry!

Incidentally, I have taken another Play3 from the house to my workshop, this will leave two in the house connected to older ADSL (all working fine).

To setup this 2nd one in the workshop (now that I have one all up and running) do I do a factory reset etc or is it simpler once at least on Play 3 has been setup?

Thx

If you’re changing networks (which you are), you should follow the instructions in the FAQ. Note, you’re not only changing networks, but systems (the speaker is no longer connected to the first network, but will be connected to the ‘new’ system).
