Can you help me. I am trying the above and holding till infinity but the damn orange flashing light won’t turn to green

Thank you! This absolutely worked. So weird that even Sonos doesn’t tell you this information haha

After 2 days of messing about trying to get my early play1 to reconnect I smashed it with a hammer and moved to Google speakers instead. Much easier!

I’ve been coming back for this video every time i tweaked my home wifi settings. Thank you!

Thank you so much!! Like previous comments, Sonos did not mention this step as well. I finally got my speakers working again! Thank you thank you thank YOU!!!

Thanks so much! Revived a Sonos that has been dead and collecting dust for years. I tried another video/reset and it didn't work. I was getting ready to toss it. Sounds great!

I come back here every few months. Thanks for the help

These speakers are absolute nightmares. They constantly disconnect from your wifi.

So helpful. I just got a Sonos Play 1 and I couldn't get to work. It's now blaring Welcome to the Jungle!

I just found one in the bin. I plugged it in but the white light was flashing then stopped. Could not get it to connect with any appliances at home like my phone. So i factory reset like the video. And the lights have done the same. I then unplugged it and. Left it for a while, then after half-hour i plugged it back in the light it flashing slowly on green. I guess its ok. Just waiting for some commands Etc... Etc...?
Thanks for the easy explanation and to the point video. Perfectly executed

[JesperKellerstam]

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I found that once the pilot light started flashing orange I could release the buttons and the light still changed to flashing green.

This is the only video that helped me. Thank you so much!

Mine doesn’t turn green it turned orange but not green

[johncarr]

I was only getting an Orange blinking light, never Green. And while it would go through the setup process, it would never play the chime sound (Audio pin).
After connecting an ethernet cable it worked for me like this:

1. Connect an ethernet cable to your Sonos Play 1, and to your internet enabled router or switch
2. Plug in power while holding Play/Pause (also holding Volume + wasn't necessary for me)
3. Wait for the light to blink Orange
4. Release the button and wait a few minutes. It will blink White for a bit and then will turn Green.

Once you have a green light it should connect properly when setting up, and play the chime audio pin.

Very helpful. I tried to connect to a new WiFi router and couldn’t because the speakers needed to be reset.
