    • Brand response from Sonos Customer Care
      Posted .

      Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Sonos Roam SL. I’m truly sorry to hear about the connectivity issues you’ve experienced. Your frustration is completely understandable, especially when you were excited to use the speaker. Let me provide some guidance that may help resolve this problem.

      Troubleshooting Steps for Internet Connection Issues:
      Ensure Compatibility:

      Confirm that your router is operating on a 2.4GHz band, as the Roam SL requires this for initial setup.
      If using a dual-band router, temporarily disable the 5GHz band during setup.
      Power Cycle Your Devices:

      Turn off your router and the Sonos Roam SL. Wait a few minutes, then power them back on.
      Reset the Roam SL:

      Press and hold the power button until the LED flashes orange and white.
      Reconnect the device through the Sonos app.
      App Setup:

      Ensure your Sonos app and phone’s operating system are up to date.
      Try setting up the device closer to the router to avoid signal interference.

      Additional Support:
      If none of these steps resolve the issue, our dedicated support team is here to help at support.sonos.com. They can assist with advanced troubleshooting or guide you through exchange/return options if the device is defective.

      We deeply value your feedback and are committed to improving your experience. Please don’t hesitate to reach out again if you need further assistance. Thank you for giving Sonos a try. john.milton

    I cannot sink it to my existing system, and Best Buy did not help me . They sent me to a company to connect the speaker to my system and they wanted to charge me over $200 . I only paid $138 for the speaker. I have an item that I cannot use I am discussed with Best Buy .

    Probably a great little speaker but didn't work for what I needed it for. I bought for surround sound and was told that they would work great by the best buy employee. I waited for a week to get in and was so excited, but they didn't work for surround-sound. I had to return them and get a more expensive speaker.

    Powerful speaker

    I love this Sonos Roam SL Portable Speaker. It is a powerful speaker for its size and provides a very clear sound when playing it. I love that it fits in purse, glove compartment in my car, the compartment on my atv and suitcase because i can take it wherever i go to use it. We live using it while we are atv riding because its the perfect size and easy to bring along with us to listen to some good music. It is easy to use and easy to connect to our devices. I love how it comes with a little dust bag so that i can keep it in when we arent using it to protect it from scratches. This bluetooth speaker only works with the app and iphone, ipad, and apple pods so if you have an android this will not work for you. The app and bluetooth speaker are easy to set up and work with. Overall this is a great speaker for on the go or even hanging out outside at home that has great sound that you can hear clearly without static or any other noises. It has 3 buttons on the side for play and pause and to put your sound lower or higher.

    Does not travel well. Will not connect to new WiFi networks and impossible to use Bluetooth without first activating within a WiFi network. Even when connected to our home network it frequently drops connectivity.

    Absolute garbage product. Doesn’t maintain steady connection via WiFi or Bluetooth. Sonos support is worthless. Do not buy.

    After a huge FedEx fiasco... this finally arrived... DEAD. Orange light of death as other reviewers are saying. Also, they said it supports Bluetooth... it doesn't without Wi-Fi. What's the point of supporting Bluetooth if you need Wi-Fi at all?
