About the Sonos Bridge (BR100)
The Sonos Bridge makes setting up an all-wireless Sonos system wonderfully fast and easy. Instead of using a ZonePlayer, simply connect the Bridge to your router to instantly activate the SonosNet wireless mesh network. Now all your ZonePlayers, Play:3's and Play:5's can work wirelessly and be put anywhere in your house.
It’s the ideal solution if your house doesn’t have Ethernet wiring or your router is in a room where you don’t want music. Although the ZoneBridge doesn’t play music like the ZonePlayer, it’s incredibly cost-effective when it comes to extending the range of your Sonos system and expanding the Controller’s wireless coverage.
The Bridge, like its name suggests, is a wireless bridge that extends the range of the Sonos system. Now you can stream music far across your property, like to a guesthouse or pool, by simply placing a Bridge in between that location and the rest of the system. And with a two-port Ethernet switch, it also brings standard Internet connectivity to your set-top box, DVR, PC, game console, or NAS drive.
Quick and easy install of an all-wireless Sonos system: Wireless Bridge to extend SonosNet and your musical enjoyment
| Instant wireless setup | Just connect a Bridge to your router using a standard Ethernet cable. Then, a simple button press will start SonosNet, a secure AES encrypted, peer-to peer wireless mesh network that enables all other Sonos products to control and play music wirelessly. |
| System flexibility | Bridge gives you the flexibility to place your ZonePlayers in any room of the house and connect them all wirelessly. |
| Automatic setup | Install a new Bridge with one button-press.* |
| * The Bridge requires software version 2.5 or higher | |
| Extend the range of the Sonos system | Stream music wirelessly to a remote location by placing a Bridge in between a ZonePlayer / Play:3 or Play:5 in a remote location and the rest of the Sonos system. |
| Expand the wireless reach of the Controller | Improve Controller access to SonosNet by placing a ZoneBridge in areas where wireless coverage needs a boost. Ideal for retrofits, where all ZonePlayers might be in one location instead of being placed throughout the home. |
| Easy Internet connectivity for other products in your house | The Bridge has a two-port Ethernet switch to bring standard Internet connectivity to your set-top box, DVR, PC, Game Console or NAS drive. |
