Getting started

Here’s what you’ll need:

• WiFi—have your network name and password ready.

• Mobile device—connected to the same WiFi. You’ll use this for setup.

• Sonos S2 app—you’ll use it to set up and control your Sonos system—choose what to play, where to play it, and how loud. Install the app on the mobile device you’re using for setup. (If you’re upgrading from the Sonos S1 app, you can remove S1 from your device after you upgrade.)

• A Sonos account—If you don’t have an account, you’ll create one during setup. Learn more about Sonos accounts.

Setup options

Setting up Sonos on your home WiFi is the answer for most homes.

If your WiFi is slow, doesn’t reach all the rooms where you want to use Sonos, or is already in high demand you can connect a Sonos product to your router with an Ethernet cable to create a separate wireless network just for your Sonos system.

Note:Your Sonos products and the mobile device with the Sonos app need to be on the same WiFi network.

You can switch between wired and wireless setup if something changes in your home. Learn more about setting up your Sonos products.

Already have Sonos?

You can easily add a new Sonos product anytime—just plug it in, open the Sonos app on your mobile device, and tap  > System > Add Product.

Add a different Sonos system

Sonos allows quick and easy access to any Sonos system. When you add another Sonos system in the app, it will automatically connect as you move from one place to another so you can enjoy Sonos at home, at a friend’s, or at your vacation house without missing a beat.
