Sonos announced today that their products have become even simpler as they have launched Sonos 5.1, a major software update that allows you to set up and run Sonos on your existing WiFi network. From now on, a wired connection to your router or a SONOS BRIDGE is no longer required to get music that sounds amazing in your home.
The vast majority of new customers will now be able to use the WiFi setup, which works for all speakers within range of the WiFi router. But the dedicated Sonos network, which is only obtained through a wired connection to your router, remains the best way to ensure the most bulletproof experience, specifically for the following scenarios:
- Homes where the WiFi signal doesn’t reach every room in which you may want to put a speaker
- Sonos 3.1 and 5.1 home theater setups still require a wired connection; a standalone PLAYBAR does not
Existing customers using a BRIDGE or another wired component to the router are already benefitting from a dedicated Sonos network, and shouldn’t change a thing.
Alongside the development of today’s software update, Sonos has also been working on an even more powerful wireless accessory as an alternative to the BRIDGE called the SONOS BOOST. Available later this year for $109, the BOOST applies over a decade of learning about the varying needs of our customers and offers enterprise-grade wireless capabilities to serve even the most challenging home WiFi environments. Look for the BOOST’s official launch in the coming months.
