Setting Up a New Sonos System
Step 1: Connect one Sonos component to your router
Connect an Ethernet cable (supplied) from an Ethernet switch connector on the back of the Sonos component to an open
port on your router. Do not connect the Sonos component directly to your cable or DSL modem unless your modem has a
built-in router.
(If you have structured (built-in) network wiring that connects to a router located elsewhere in your home, you can connect
from a live wall plate to the Ethernet switch connector on the back of your Sonos component.)
