Sonos play 1. Should I buy one or two

I am thinking about buying the sonos play 1. Would only one be enough or should I buy two. It is for my bedroom so the room is not that big.

I forgot to mention that I was already told to get the boost. More money down the tubes. sonosnet is no better. Even when I change the channel. That was like 6 troubleshoots ago.

You don't need a boost if you hook an existing unit to your router. Again - goes to Sonosnet solving most issues with home routers wifi.

If you read my post I make it quite clear that I have exhausted the troubleshooting.

Don’t waist your money! I have 8 of these things and wish I could return them all. If you finally get them working properly it won’t stay that way. They constantly cut out Sonos told me it was my Wi-Fi so 500$ router 160-170 mps both ways all the time still drops all the time?!?! I have spent many hrs trouble shooting with Sonos and now at the end of it all it is useless and not working. I feel this is the worst wirless speaker system on the market. Oh and watch out for the trolls from Sonos commenting that with just some more trouble shooting I would have fixed it BS! I have a lot of patients and know how but I am done with this Sonos crap!
I hate to say it, but there's really only one troll in this thread:

Ya, Im sure its not me trying to warn people. To not to make the same mistake I did. Good luck after reading more comments on this board I will be surprised if Sonos is around in a couple of years.

If people are really dropping signal due to WiFi, get a mesh network (google WiFi works very well for a multi room house or condo) or hardline your primary speaker. Networking/wireless capabilities shouldn’t be a reflection of the speakers performance. The signals are solid, the sound is ideal.
