You must connect at least one Sonos component to your network router. It will then set-up its own wireless network to communicate between the various components. If you have only one component near your router then you won't need a bridge. If you can't plug right into your router then you'll need a bridge to serve in that role. I have one bridge plugged into my Apple TimeCapsule and then have Sonos devices in my kitchen, living room, and bed room all communicating with the bridge. Sonos periodically runs specials where they give you a free bridge with purchase of a device.

Can't I use any USB Wireless Adapter with this player to add WiFi to it? I sure can use it to get WiFi on older PC. Another option might be to use older WiFi router as bridge and plug it in Ethernet port. Can some one comment, please?

I just try to connect my Samsung Galaxy note 3 to my mix deck quad. It recognized the connection but did not find the music. ..... not sure why. Hope that answers your question.

No, so long as your speaker can connect directly to your router (hardwired), the speaker itself can serve as a bridge. The bridge is used in a home setup where you don't plan to have a speaker physically located near your router. For example, if your router is in a room where you will not have a speaker, then you can use the bridge in that room, and put your speakers elsewhere.

You have to select the BT Speaker on your phone and wait for them to connect. The speaker will announce "bluetooth connected" and then your ready to play your music. If the speaker doesn't announce it's connected it won't play. That's how I've noticed mines works. I have 2 of them. One for my restroom and one in the kitchen, I'm a music addict. Lol. Hope this helps!!

Barbara, I don't really know what your question is regarding. But from the previous answer, I am guessing that you want to know how to use these speakers. New electronic devices have what is called Bluetooth capability. In other words you can send the music signal without a wire connected to the speaker. If the device you want to use to play music does not have this capability you can use a wire to connect your device to the speaker the wire needs to have a plug that will fit in your music device and one that will fit into the speaker. The plug that goes into the speaker is a 3.5 mm cable. Good luck. The speaker deliver a great sound. Barbara, I don't really know what your question is regarding.

I have the same question as James: do I need anything other than the Cisco Valet to set up a wireless network? I did not understand the answer he got. I need a very simple answer.

This tablet has NO bluetooth. Weird, I know. For display, there is only the HDMI port. No wireless. You have to plug in the mini HDMI or whatever, plug into it. The lack of bluetooth on this tablet is perplexing... but i use it only for reading music... and for that it is AMAZING. If you're a musician, I can't recommend this tablet enough.

Second thoughts: It could be that the Windows Media Player is the problem. My network sharing of my music files is done through the WMP, and I think it doesn't recognize FLAC files -- I just checked my WMP "library" and my FLAC files are not shown, so they wouldn't be available on my WiFi network. I'm sure there are other ways of setting up "My Shared Music" which might be able to include FLAC files (maybe using Real Player, etc.). Speak to a techie!

Once the initial setup has been complete, the Zeppelin will run on wifi exclusively. Not only that, but when I have parties I can unplug Zeppelin and bring it anywhere the wifi reaches, plug it in there and it connects right up. And on top of that, the sound quality is truly unmatched when compared to other dock systems.

I don't understand your question. This is plays your music wireless so that you don't have to connect an audio wire from your phone to your stereo. It works well but the sound quality is degraded.

If you need an access point, then look for an access point. This is a wireless bridge, used to connect local devices that may not have wireless capability, to your access point. I was using it to connect several ethernet devices to my access point, but 7t was too hard to configure and maintain, so I returned this bridge.

Horribly, because it doesn't seem to stay on the network very well. I've had two now, the first sent back to ASUS because it wouldn't work, the second is now still not really working. The few times I did try to stream audio, it worked, somewhat but would stop playing at random. (or are you not asking how well, but 'what technique do you use?') To make it work, you use apple airplay as I recall, I didn't try it with a PC though. It just shows up on airplay if the settings are right in the web setup UI.

I'm a bit confused! I would like the idea of pairing a bluetooth set of headphones to the NR-1403. Someone stated that it could be paired with with a smartphone, or tablet in order to listen. Why couldn't you then pair your bluetooth headphones to your smartphones and listen to the audio of the NR-1403 after pairing with the smartphone?

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

I couldn't get this to stream calls at all - would stream any music from my phone to anything I plugged into - car stereo, home audio receiver, etc. - but when I would get a call it would not send call audio thru any device??? I bought it more to stream my calls thru my car audio than to stream my music... I wonder if mine is defective or if this is just a limitation on this model? Nothing in the tiny manual that comes with it about streaming call audio at all... ?? Anyone have any info?
