SONOS BRIDGE
• Use a SONOS BRIDGE to connect the Sonos system to your home network— just connect a BRIDGE to your router using
a standard Ethernet cable and then you can add additional Sonos components to your music system wirelessly.
• Use a SONOS BRIDGE to extend the wireless range of your Sonos system — stream music wirelessly to a remote
location by placing a BRIDGE in between a Sonos component in a remote location and the rest of your Sonos system.
New to Sonos?
It takes just a few steps to get your Sonos system up and running (the steps below are fully explained in the QuickStart Guide
packaged with your BRIDGE) —
• Connect a Sonos component to your broadband router using an Ethernet cable (supplied).
• Place other Sonos component(s) in the room(s) of your choice.
• Install the software and follow the prompts to add the Sonos component(s) and set up access to your music files.
• Add a Sonos controller to your music system.
Once you’ve set up your music system, you can add additional Sonos components any time.
Adding to an existing Sonos system?
Sonos can be easily expanded room by room. If you are adding this BRIDGE to an existing Sonos music system, you can turn
directly to "Adding to an Existing Sonos System" on page 2.
Your Home Network
To access Internet music services, Internet radio, and any digital music stored on your computer or Network-Attached
Storage (NAS) device, your home network must meet the following requirements:
Network requirements
• High-speed DSL/Cable modem, or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection for proper playback of Internet-based
music services. (If your Internet service provider only offers Satellite Internet access, you may experience playback
issues due to fluctuating download rates.)
• If your modem is not a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos' automatic online
updates, or stream music from an Internet-based music service, you must install a router in your home network. If
you do not have a router, purchase and install one before proceeding.
• If you are going to use a Sonos application on an Android™ smartphone, iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad® or other tablet,
you may need a wireless router in your home network. Please visit our Web site at
http://faq.sonos.com/apps for
more information.
Note: Your network must have a high-speed Internet connection, as the Sonos system is
designed to provide you with online software updates. Your Sonos system must be registered
to receive these updates, so be sure to register during the setup process. We do not share
your e-mail address with other companies.
