How to set up Sonos One wireless speaker

In this video I show you how to set up the Sonos One wireless speaker. We unboxed the Sonos One in our last episode, and setting it up after taking it out of the box is simple when using the free Sonos app for your smartphone or tablet.

As we covered previously, Sonos connects to your wired or wireless Wi-Fi network, allowing Sonos components to talk to each other in different rooms. It's a fantastic system, and thanks to the free Sonos app, it is simple to control. Watch as we set it up in this episode.

Thanks for helping me understand how to plug a Sonos into an outlet. Wow

[daizyduke]

Thank you for the video. I was worried I needed to use Ethernet cable in order to use the speaker. None of the videos I watched explained it very till I found yours.

[nigelhollowell]

great after watching this i just got mine back up and working its been ages since been working top man

[malevolent]

lol, wtf, i just got it, and this video makes it seem super simple. But, i open the app, and then it asks, to connect to existing system, or learn how to create a new one. If i clcik learn how to create a new one, in safari, it opens a new tab on step-by-step instructions, yet they are skipping like 4 steps, because i dont get the same screens. please help, i am confused.

Finally. Someone who can make a simple and easy setup video without yapping on. Nice one mate

The thing I want to know is can you listen with Bluetooth instead of using WiFi?

Heres my issue I have a Sonos Play:1 and I am trying to connect it to my samsung tv or my apple tv for speaker sound. I have researched and it looks like Sonos Play:1 is not compatible with Airplay 2 because of this Question: 

How can you connect the sonos Play:1 to apple tv ?

The only other way I see you can hook up the Sonos Play:1 to the apple tv is by converting the Sonos Play:1 it to blue tooth if that is even possible

Is there a work around to connect with existing Alexa speakers? Thanks

[barelegals]

I just want to simply Bluetooth it why can’t I just do that?

[dougaloo]

Andru, thanks for the tutorial. Please accept some constructive criticism: get right to the tutorial with less preamble. People are looking for quick solutions. Thank you.

I have sonos 1 gen 2. Is it possible to play trough my laptop with windows 7?

[jc]

Just bought one for my wife. It can’t seem to connect which I tried this morning before I left for work. When I get home I’ll start over again.

The app does fine until I enter my password. Then it stops can’t log in. Kind of frustrating.

[Lizardking]

Is there any way to use this product without the stupid app?

[robans]

C'mon man you dont need to tell us how to plug device to power, waisting my time

[TJ_USA]

The software is spectacularly awful. It is broken in every possible way it is possible to break. 3 hours in trying to set it up.

[mandelenmandelen]

I already have a Sonos playbar and a Sonos speaker connected to the network which I manage through the Sonos app. The problem is that I bought another Sonos speaker and when I it won't blink green when I connect it. The app doesn't recognize it either. How can I fix this?

[arthurfreeman]

I have a play1, I wanted to move it to a different room, it now refuses to connect. I have tried numerous methods to no avail.

[drtomtumbarello]

SO SWEET.... BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR I PHONE DOES NOT GO TO SAME SCREEN? YOUR SCREWED ... GOOD LUCK

[sod]

This gotta be the worst speaker of all time

[gregphilipmusic]

Thanks Andru, very good and concise, minimum chatty chatty! Question: Does it work better using the Ethernet direct connection with a cable? Thanks
