“does the amp need to be hard wired to the internet Does the system need to be hard wired through the ethernet cable?”

1-10 of 12 Answers

• I am running my ConnectAmp without hard wiring (other than cables to my two speakers) and have no problems. It connects wirelessly to a $50 SONOS Bridge unit that sits next to our existing home router in a different room. The Bridge is connected to our router by a short Ethernet cable. Supposedly we can even operate without the Bridge, just connecting to a home wireless router, but I have heard that the Bridge helps maintain a strong wireless connection and is less affected by other wireless activity your router might be doing. I decided that the $50 was good insurance.

• No it doesn't need to be hardwired. My setup works fine using WiFi in my upstairs bedroom. My wireless router is downstairs and there is no problem receiving a signal upstairs.

• The Sonos Amp works with a wireless system. Sets up just like the speakers do.

• Depends on your WiFi setup. I have an EERO mesh (one main + 3 repeaters). Apparently, it does not play well with SONOS. I have only been able to get it to work by having only one SONOS device connected to the main WiFi router. In my setup, this was not a problem as I have a CONNECT:AMP near my router. If I didn't, I would have purchased a BOOST to connect to the router. Once I connected a SONOS device (and it doesn't matter which device), it has worked great!

• No. Just plug it in and attach your speaker cables. It even has an input for a sub-woofer
