SONOS BOOST

The SONOS BOOST is an optional accessory you can purchase to unleash the full power of Sonos.

When Should I Use a BOOST?

•To boost wireless performance. If your WiFi network is already in high demand with streaming video, gaming, and

web surfing, connect a BOOST to your router to establish a separate wireless network exclusively for your Sonos

speakers.

•To achieve rock solid coverage. If you want to strengthen the wireless performance of your Sonos system, a BOOST

provides three wireless antennae broadcasting 360-degree signals through walls and ceilings for flawless coverage

even to the most remote room in your home.

•To create theater-quality surround sound. If you want to create an immersive surround sound experience that’s easy

to set up and control, connect a BOOST to your router and wirelessly connect a SUB and a pair of PLAY:1 or PLAY:3

speakers to your PLAYBAR home theater setup.

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 BOOST)—

• Connect a SONOS BOOST to your router using an Ethernet cable (supplied).

• Place other Sonos products in the rooms of your choice.

• Download a Sonos Controller App and then follow the on-screen prompts to set up Sonos.

Once you’ve set up your music system, you can add more Sonos products any time.

Adding to an existing Sonos system?

Sonos can be easily expanded room by room. If you are adding this BOOST to an existing Sonos music system, you can turn

directly to "Adding to an Existing Sonos System" on page 3.

Product Guide

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

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.

• 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 the Sonos Controller App

on an Android™ smartphone, iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad® or other tablet, you will need a wireless router. Please visit our

Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/apps for more information.

• Connect a SONOS BOOST to your router if:

• You have a larger home where the WiFi performance isn’t robust 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 just for your Sonos speakers.

• You want to wirelessly connect a SUB and/or a pair of PLAY:1 or PLAY:3 speakers to your PLAYBAR home theater

setup.

• For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS drive that contains your personal music library collection to

your home network router using an Ethernet cable.

System requirements

• Windows® XP SP3 and higher

• Macintosh® OS X 10.6.8 and higher

• Compatible with iPhone®, iPod touch®, and iPad® devices running iOS 6.0 or later, certain features require higher

SONOS BOOST 3

Adding to an Existing Sonos System

Once you’ve got a Sonos system set up, you can easily add more Sonos speakers any time (up to 32 rooms).

Note: If you purchased a SONOS BOOST to replace a Sonos product that is currently attached

to your router, be sure to add the BOOST to your Sonos system (see steps below) before

unplugging and moving the originally wired Sonos speaker.

1. Attach the power adapter and plug in the SONOS BOOST.

2. Choose one of the following options:

• Select Add a BRIDGE or BOOST from the Manage menu on a Mac or PC.

• Select Add a BRIDGE or BOOST from the Settings menu on a handheld controller.

During the setup process, you will be prompted to press and release the Join button on the side of the SONOS BOOST. The

indicator lights flash orange and white while the BOOST is connecting.

You may be prompted to update the rest of your Sonos system during this process.

A BOOST will not display on your ROOMS pane after it is set up. If you wish to change the settings for this product, choose one

of the following:

• Using the Sonos Controller for PC: Select Manage -> Settings -> BOOST Settings.

• Using the Sonos Controller for Mac: Select Sonos -> Preferences -> BOOST Settings.

Wall Mounting

If desired, you can easily wall mount the SONOS BOOST.

1. Choose a location that’s close to an electrical outlet (power cord length is 6 ft. / 1.8m), away from heat sources, hidden

wiring, gas lines, etc.

2. Drive an American standard #6 round head screw (metric, M3.5 round head screw) into the wall, leaving a gap between

the wall and the screw head (approximately 0.13 in / 3.3mm).

Note: Pan head screws will also work.

3. Place the BOOST on the wall and slide straight down, allowing the screw head to slip behind the smaller end of the

keyhole slot on the back of the BOOST.

Ethernet switch connectors (2) Use an Ethernet cable to connect to a router, computer, or other network device.

AC power (mains) input Use the supplied power adapter to connect to power outlet (using a third-party power

cord will void your warranty). Be sure to use the proper power adapter for your country.

Product Guide

Basic Troubleshooting

Warning: Under no circumstances should the product be repaired by anyone other than an

authorized Sonos repair center, as this will invalidate the warranty. Please contact Sonos

Customer Support for more information. Do not open the system as there is a risk of electric

shock.

BOOST not detected during setup

• Did you allow Sonos to check for updates? The SONOS BOOST requires software version 5.1 or later.

• If your software version is current, a network or a firewall issue may be preventing the BOOST from connecting to your

Sonos system. If the BOOST is connected to your router, you can try the steps below to resolve this issue. If you are

still experiencing problems, please contact the Sonos Customer Care team and we’ll be happy to help.

• Check the firewall

If you are setting up your Sonos system using a Mac or PC, firewall software installed on the computer may be

blocking the ports that Sonos uses to operate. First, disable all your firewalls and try to connect again. If this resolves

the problem, you should configure your firewall to work with the Sonos Controller app. Please go to our Web site at

http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for additional information. If this does not resolve the problem, you can try the step

below.

• Check the router

You can bypass your router’s switch to determine whether there are any router configuration issues by connecting

Sonos as depicted in the following illustration (note that the BOOST and the computer still have Internet access in this

configuration):

• Be sure that your cable/DSL modem is connected to the router’s WAN (Internet) port.

• Temporarily remove any other components that are wired to your network.

• Connect an Ethernet cable from the computer directly to the back of the BOOST, and then connect another Ethernet

cable from the BOOST directly to one of the LAN ports on your router.

SONOS BOOST 7

• When you make a change to your network configuration, you may need to power cycle the BOOST by unplugging

the power cord, and then plugging it back in.

• If you are not using a router, you can visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/norouter for more information.

Not all rooms are visible

You are probably experiencing wireless interference. Change the wireless channel your Sonos system is operating on by

following the steps below.

• Using a handheld Sonos controller: Touch Settings -> Advanced Settings, and then Wireless Channel. Choose another

wireless channel from the list.

• Using the Sonos Controller for PC: Select Settings -> Advanced from the Manage menu, and then select another

wireless channel.

• Using the Sonos Controller for Mac: Select Preferences -> Advanced from the Sonos menu, and then select another

wireless channel.

It may take several seconds for the switch to take effect. If you have music playing, a short music dropout may occur during

the wireless channel change.

I have a new router

If you purchase a new router or change your ISP (Internet service provider), you will need to restart all your Sonos products

after the router is installed.

Note: If the ISP technician connects a Sonos product to the new router, you only need to

restart your wireless Sonos products.

1. Disconnect the power cord from all of your Sonos products for at least 5 seconds.

2. Reconnect them one at a time, starting with the Sonos product that is connected to your router.

Wait for your Sonos products to restart. The status indicator light will change to solid white on each product when the

restart is complete.
