Step 1: Connect a Sonos component to your home network
Connect the Ethernet cable from an open port on your broadband router to any of the
Ethernet switch connectors on the back of a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge.
• If your modem is currently plugged into the only network interface connector
on your computer, you should install a standard router before continuing. If you
don’t have a router, go to http://faq.sonos.com/norouter for instructions.
Or,
• If you have structured (built-in) wiring that connects to a router located else-
where in your home, you can connect the Ethernet cable from a live wall plate
into one of the Ethernet switch connectors on the back of your ZonePlayer.

Note: You can connect a ZoneBridge, a ZonePlayer 80, or a ZonePlayer 100 to your
router. If you are going to use speakers in this music zone, you can connect a
ZonePlayer 100 to your router. If you want to connect to an external amplifier, or to
your computer’s powered speakers, you can connect a ZonePlayer 80 to your router.
If you do not wish to play music here, you can connect a ZoneBridge.
