Sonos BRIDGE - Expand your Wireless Hi-Fi

Product Information

The two systems cannot talk to one another. If you keep a first-gen Play:5 in your bedroom and decide that your new Sonos Beam should run on S2 in your living room, these devices will never play the same songs in perfect sync the way they do using the S1 app for both. If you’ve decided that you want to run two Sonos systems, it means some of your products will be upgraded to the S2 platform. Make sure you plan out which speakers will be on S2 and which will remain on S1. If you upgrade a Sonos One speaker to S2 and later decide to move it into a room with a Play:1 that is still on S1, you’ll have to upgrade the Play:1 or downgrade the Sonos One to get them to play in sync or to use them as a stereo pair. Imported playlists. Sonos is compatible with iTunes playlists, as well as M3U, WPL and PLS playlist files created with third-party software.

But herein lies the problem: If you aren’t careful, and you elect to upgrade to the S2 software, all of your S2-capable gear will be migrated to S2 where they will no longer be able to talk to your legacy products. Make sure that the Sonos product you’re using has already been set up as part of your Sonos system.

The Sonos system can play music from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your home network where you have shared music folders. During the setup process, you are guided through the process of accessing your local music library (such as your iTunes library). Over time, you may wish to add or remove folders from this list.

Replace your Bridge with a Boost

The Boost performs much better than the Bridge for boosting WiFi signal and eliminating interference to help your Sonos system work better. The Sonos Boost has a built-in amplifier which can boost the signal strength of your speakers, and it also has a feature called “Adaptive Antenna Technology” which helps to improve the wireless performance even further. Connecting the speaker to the newly created network is very easy if you have the Sonos mobile app. Just follow the instructions in the app, and you are all set to have a stable internet connection for your speaker.
