• If your modem isn’t a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos’ automatic
online updates or use a streaming music service, you’ll need to install a wireless router before setting up
Sonos.
• Connect a Sonos BOOST or speaker to your router if:
• You have a larger home where the WiFi performance isn’t reliable and you want to strengthen the
wireless performance of your Sonos system.
• Your WiFi network is already in high demand with streaming video and web surfing and you want to
create a separate wireless network exclusively for your Sonos speakers.
• Your network is 5GHz only (not switchable to 2.4GHz).
• You have configured your router to support only 802.11n and can’t change the settings to support
802.11 b/g/n.
• For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS drive that contains your personal music library
collection to your network router using an Ethernet cable.
