My Sonos system won’t connect to my new home wifi network. The app prompts the update but then it is unable to complete the change.
Hi, I went on my phone and went on to the Sonos App , i went down to click T Bedroom and it wasn't there. It completely has disappeared and I can't listen to my music through Sonos. It has always worked as I always listen to music in my room. Do you know how I add my room back in? What is the problem?
My play 5 will not pair. It will flash green but when I try and pair it the light goes to orange and it will not pair. If overheating it is not due to conditions and it has never overheated before. Sits on an open table temp controlled room.
Sonos ONE set up, flashing orange light. Unable to connect to WiFi wirelessly sitting literally next to the router or even when using ethernet cable. Light flashes green until it tries to connect to WiFi, then flashes orange. After a few seconds of not trying anything it flashes green again but will still not connect to WiFi. This ONE is brand new and has never been connected before. Not sure if it's a hardware issue or what is going on.
When I try to set up my Sonos, it says to connect to a wireless network called SONOS. I do not see this appear in the list of available networks. I've set up this Sonos before and it worked fine, all of a sudden it stopped working so I reset everything and tried to re-install and am running into this issue. Not sure what happened to make the Sonos stop working but now I can't re-install. Any information would be great.
Today while playing TuneIn my 2 grouped play 1 turned on the Green led. From the app music is still playing, but no sound from the speakers. Diagnostic 8495193
Moderator note: This article was updated in December 2024. Hi Folks, I’ll share some general advice about how Sonos products connect to your network, and the kind of network problems that can result in dropping rooms, to help you understand and solve some challenges with your Sonos system.Updated 19/4/24 2.4 & 5GHz bands (and WiFi 6)A few older Sonos devices will only connect to the 2.4GHz band, whereas most will connect to the 5GHz band broadcasted from your router. A full list of which devices will connect to 5GHz can be found here on our Supported WiFi modes and security standards for Sonos products page, under “Products that can connect to 5GHz WiFi networks”. Arc Ultra, Era 100, Era 300, Move 2 and Sub 4 will connect to 802.11ax (WiFi 6) or 802.11ac (WiFi 5).Home Theatre products other than Arc Ultra will not connect to 5GHz, as the 5GHz radio is reserved for talking to the surrounds and Sub(s). Arc Ultra has an extra radio.Sonos will perform best on 5GHz as it is faster, has
I changed my configuration and removed some speakers from my system. When I turned them off they stayed in the app and there was only the option to “hide” them, but it didn’t work. I checked this board for the steps but didn’t find a solution, I just went through it with chat support and the below method worked. Factory reset the speaker Open the sonos app A popup will come asking you to “Add” this “new speaker Close out of the pop-up, don’t add it. Restart the app. This worked for me, the old speaker is now gone from the app. The speaker I did it on was a roam. I wish I had known this before I shipped the other one I had and sold because apparently, I have to wait for that one to be activated by another user before it can be removed from my app.
Hi, This clearly seems to be a common problem with sonos systems. My system keeps dropping connection regularly, especially with the radio. I have reset my router, updated my software but to no avail. There seems from other threads that there are several different reasons for this happening. Has anyone got any suggestions where to even start? All help gratefully received
Is there a way to connect my Windows 10 PC to my Sonos One speakers wirelessley so that I can use them as PC speakers? I’ve just switched over from Amazon Music to Spotify today and found that the Spotify PC app connects to the Sonos One speakers wirelessley, whereas the Amazon PC app wouldn’t even recognise the Sonos One speakers. I’ll be getting a soundbar soon, but in the meantime I’d like to use my Sonos One’s as PC speakers. Moderator note: We updated this article in October 2023 with new information below.For more information on how to use Sonos speakers as PC speakers please have a look at this tutorial on our community.
