QuestionFrom time to time I lose control of our Sonos devices through the controller/app on my phone. I go to turn down the volume or change songs and I don't have any control to do so. The speakers are not reacting to any input. Will the Boost help this issue?
Asked 5 years ago by TJ.
- Answer I have two different Sonos systems. The system with the boost has never experienced a loss of control, the second system has. I cannot confirm the boost is the reason for not losing control. However, it seems to be. Hope this helps.

QuestionCan this be the component that connects directly with Ethernet to our internet?We don't need a speaker in the small bedroom that houses our internet line. Can this then be the main component that connects directly with an Ethernet cable? And then have all the other speakers, in all the other rooms, connect wirelessly to this boost component? Or must we have a speaker connect directly with an Ethernet?

QuestionMy router has both 2.4g & 5g separate wifi in my home. My cell is always on the 5g. Sonos wants 2.4 g wifi connectivity. If I install the Sonos Boost - do I have to keep switching from the 5g to 2,4g in my phone settings just to listen to music? Help?
Asked 5 years ago by cedo.
- Answer You should program your Boost on the 5GHz access point. Your entire Sonos System will live within your boost Port, so wherever your sonos is setup (5GHz or 2.4Ghz) is where it will live.

QuestionCan this be used to connect sonos speaker from inside the house to a patio?
Asked 5 years ago by Chris.
- Answer My understanding is that Boost serves as a modem which places the music source information onto its own frequency. What it can accomplish with regard to your other Sonos components depends on distance and obstacles. Sonos tech support is very helpful and i can usually speak to them without an endless wait.

QuestionMy Smart Sony TV is on the wall with no wires showing. Does this product have to have wires from the back of the TV to the speaker? I want truly wireless - none from the TV against the wall. Judy Tatone
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes, you need an audio source. What I would recommend is getting a SONOS Connect that way you plug into that and then the rest of the speakers would receive the audio signal from the Connect. The Connect is very small and easy to hide, you might even be able to figure out a way to hide it behind the tv. The only way you could get Zero wired would be for Sony to have a Bluetooth connection option and SONOS would have to set it up to where the speakers could connect through Bluetooth, but I do not think that will happen.
  I would recommend:

QuestionIs there any advantage / improvement by upgrading from a Sonos BR-100 Bridge to a Sonos Boost?
Asked 5 years ago by ChefJerry.
- Answer There is a significant improvement in transitioning from a Bridge to a Boost. In fact, if you have a good WiFi network in your home removing the Bridge all together may improve your performance. Boost enables SonosNet 2.0 along with a host of other improvements over the Bridge.

QuestionHi I was wondering why 3/4s of a way through a song the song will just skip to the next song even though no one hit anything to make that happen. It's like the sonos has a mind of its own.
Asked 8 years ago by Drew.
- Answer I occasionally had this problem when using wifi for my Sonos components, but once I put in the Sonos Boost to establish a Sonos mesh network and used that instead of the household wifi for Sonos, things have functioned without issue. You might want to contact Sonos support directly to see if they can troubleshoot your Boost setup.

QuestionI want to buy a play 5. Can my TV be connected to it?
Asked 9 years ago by Rico.
- Answer For my TV I use the sound bar, bass, two play 5's and two play 3's in the back. The play 5's are not necessary, however they do add to the sound while watching movies. Also, if you plan on listening to music, the combination of all the speakers s a great sound.

QuestionI have 4 Sonia amp that I connected to 8 in ceiling speakers a d I have two small Dino’s speakers. Do I need the boost as well to transmit all? I don’t have the boost
Asked 4 years ago by Doclir.
- Answer It depends on your wifi. You can connect up to 32 of our products on your home's wifi. Boost is only needed if your wifi environment isn't able to handle your Sonos. Boost will create a dedicated mesh network that only Sonos works off of. That being said do you "need" one? The answer is that it depends on your wifi environment.
