Sonos BOOST [4/15] Network requirements

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

• 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

website 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.

• 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 10.7 and higher

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

versions of iOS

• Android 2.2 and higher, certain features require higher versions of Android)

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.
