Sonos Move setup on new network

I brought my Move with me to a vacation rental house for the month and have struggled to get it to work in this network. I’d prefer not to switch to Bluetooth because multiple people use this Move. At home my Move is part of a Sonos setup with several other speakers. I brought it to this house, followed instructions to setup the move, also reset the Sonos app on my phone, followed the steps to setup a new device, played a song, and then the next day my iOS app says “Unable to connect to Sonos.” I went through the whole setup again and hours later it went back to the same message. Any idea what the issue is?

Connecting Move to MYX Fitness Bike

I bought a MYX Fitness bike with 22” Bluetooth enabled display. The bike pairs with Bluetooth headphones but doesn’t recognize my Move. My Move is working and pairs with other wireless devices. I contacted MYX and they said they don’t support wireless speakers (I didn’t know it was possible for a Bluetooth device to pair with headphones but not Bluetooth speakers). However the bike does pair and connect to my old Big Jambox wireless speaker. I’ve seen the thread here that Peloton has a similar issue. Anyone able to surmise whether or not I’ll be able to connect to the MYX bike… and how?  thanks!

Move is not charging in ring

HiI just got a Move, at first all seams to work fine, but after some hours on the charging ring it just stoped working. The battery was flat and it didn't charge on the ring. Charling directly with USB-C works fine and it connects and play fine. The charging indicator on the app is only on when the USB-C is connected. I have tried multiple outlets (they all works for all other devices). I have tried to measure the power from the connectors on the ring using a voltmeter, no indication of any output. Any fix ? Regards Christian

Boost setup

Right out of the box the instruction says if you already have the Sonos app, which I do, it says to open the app (which I did) and choose More>Settings>Add a Bridge/Boost. Where is More on the app? I am using the Sonos 2 app. I cannot find More. I tried the Settings button first but nothing? In Settings when I hit +Add Product I get a Searching for nearby products message. That’s it. So where is that More button?

connecting Move to a wifi extension

My Move is connected to my WiFi router most of the time. However, there are times I need it to connect to a WiFi extender. Is it possible to set it up so that it connects to whichever (router or router extender) that has the best signal?

S2 - Should I or shouldn't I?

Hi All,I’m a heavily invested long term user of Sonos and contemplating the trade up program to bring my system to S2 compatibility.  However I’m pretty concerned by what seems to be widespread issues around the S2 controller stability, with so many users reporting connectivity issues after moving from S1 to S2.I was hoping this might be early teething issues with the S2 app, but after reading recent reviews on the apple App Store (as recent as this week) it seems the same issues are still present and quite widespread.  Specifically the issues I’m referring to are where the S2 controller/app fails to find the Sonos system, speakers drop off, random disconnection issues and delays when pausing/skipping tracks.  I see that Sonos support seem to be in complete denial of these issues blaming the user’s network/environment, but completely ignoring the fact the problems started immediately after switching from S1 to S2.Can fellow community members comment on their experience with S2, specifi

How do I connect Move speakers on Sonos network using Boost?

Starting a new Sonos system with all new Sonos 2 equipment. Got and connected two Move speakers to my home network. Two days later I received a Boost and connected it to my Orbi router with an ethernet cable. I expected the Moves would “see” and connect to the new Sonos network automatically. Didn’t happen.The Moves work on what shows as the home network, no mention of a Sonos network, but I don’t trust that will continue. I had a lot of drop out issues with an older Sonos system until I ethernet connected one of the components to the router and set up a dedicated Sonos network. After that, all was fine.The IP addresses for all three are the same with the exception of the last two digits. The Boost is WM:0, the two Moves are WM:1. Is this as it should be?I have more Sonos 2 product on order and want to get this worked out before tackling the rest of it.

Port/Boost on the way

I just received my Move today. All set up and playing. Sounds great. I have both Port & Boost coming next week. Question. All my Sonos is on my wifi router. When I get my Port and Boost should connect my Port first before connecting my Boost? Is there a certain procedure to connect Boost when all of the Sonos are already on a router wifi?

Can't connect Sonos Move to a second network

Hello, I'm french so I'm sorry by advance for my english.I own a Sonos Move and I live in two different house (I change house every week) and I i bring my Sonos Move in my two houses. At first it worked perfectly, I could connect my Sonos Move in both of my networks. However, it's been more than a month that I need to factory reset my Sonos Move every week because it cannot connect the the new networks. Everytime I try to do the setup where I click on "New router or changed WIFI settings". Then it says to put the speaker on the charging base and click on the "infinity" button behind the speaker (what I do everytime I try). And then it says that it can deconnect my phone from my actual network for a few moments during the setup of my speaker. But after 1-2min it says that there was a problem while trying to connect to my Sonos and I don't why I can't connect my Sonos Move to a new WIFI even that it can actually connect to 16 different networks.If anyone could help me with that problem i

How to Connect MOVE to second WIFI

I’ve read all the other posts and none of the suggestions or documentation are working. I took my brand new Move with me on vacation and trying to connect to wifi. There’s now intermediate wifi sign in at this location. But nothing I do will see my Move. Frustrating because it’s called a MOVE and yet so difficult to move… I’ve taken my play one’s to new locations with no issue.Any suggestions? Mobile app on the wifi, I say add product, it looks and looks and looks and nothing. I try resetting the app, then when I sign in, it does the same.

New Sonos Move

I am adding a Move. The app finds it and then has me shut if off, turn it on, and then takes a couple of minutes searching. It next takes me to a page “wireless setup” and “Go to accessory page” on the bottom. The app locks up there and won’t do anything else.

Sonos Move flashing red battery light

Was on the deck last and after 2 or 3 hours the battery level indicator started to flash red. I read that this indicates a ‘fault condition’. Does anyone know what that means, and what would trigger that? Is it a fatal condition?   thx.

Move - Not Charging

I bought a Move over the weekend. I charged it to full and then used it for a couple of hours. I turned it off when I was done. I went to use it this morning and it was dead. I placed it on the charger and it lit up like it was charging, but it doesn’t seem to be charging. I tried I tried the dock for several hours and using the USB-C option for a couple hours and it still doesn’t turn on. Tried both options in multiple outlets. I get the little charging light anytime I move or unplug it. It’s listed as “offline” in the app, so I can’t go in and mess with any of the settings. I don’t think I can reset it because it won’t even turn on. Anyone else run into this and able to fix it or is it a hardware problem (i.e., a dud)?

Sonos Move doesn't charge anymore

Hi, I can't charge my sonos move anymore. I tried with the charging base, the orange led lights up, goes out and then, nothing. I also  tried to charge it with the USB-C charger and it was unsuccessful too (no light at all). I only charged it a few times so the battery doesn't need to be changed yet up to me. As it is out of charge, I also can't reset it. Anyone can help? Thank you so much in advance!

Can't get Sonos MOVE out of Bluetooth mode to get back on WiFi

Just got a new MOVE. It worked right away with my current WIFI nework, and with my other Sonos speakers. Then I tested it on bluetooth, and that also worked fine. However, after that, I can not get it to switch back to my WIFI network from bluetooth. It’s stuck in bluetooth! Can’t get it back on WIFI by  pressing the join button as instructed.  Can anyone help me  switch back to my wifi and Sonos system?

Using Move with WiFi extender

I have recently upgraded my Play 5 to a Move. The Move is situated in the same position as the Play 5 was, in the conservatory. I also have a Playbar and a Play 3. Due to network issues there is a WiFi extender in the conservatory. The extender provides exactly the same network and log in details as the main router. The Play 5 worked perfectly well in this location.My issue is that if the Move speaker connects to the extender then it disappears from the App. Do I need to alter a setting to overcome this problem? If I cannot connect via the extender then the Move will not work as intended.
