: Simple setup of an all-wireless system; Setting up your all-wireless Sonos system has never been easier. Just connect a ZoneBridge to your router to instantly activate SonosNet, our secure wireless mesh network. Now all your ZonePlayers and Controllers can work wirelessly and be placed anywhere in your house.
: Extend the range of your Sonos system; The ZoneBridge, 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 ZoneBridge 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
Instant wireless setup	Just connect a ZoneBridge 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	ZoneBridge gives you the flexibility to place your ZonePlayers in any room of the house and connect them all wirelessly.
Automatic setup	Install a new ZoneBridge with one button-press.*
Wireless bridge to extend SonosNet and your musical enjoyment
Extend the range of the Sonos system	Stream music wirelessly to a remote location by placing a ZoneBridge in between a ZonePlayer 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 ZoneBridge has a two-port Ethernet switch to bring standard Internet connectivity to your set-top box, DVR, PC, Game Console or NAS drive.
* The ZoneBridge requires software version 2.5 or higher
