Anyone using this with Sonos? I had my Sonos set up on my old (lousy) Wifi Router. Can't figure out how to connect it with the OM2P.

I have the exact same problem, did you ever find a way to connect your Sonos. I have tried with and without my bridge.

setup with multiple Sonos systems with latest firmware through Cloudtrax and Sonos. No problems whatsoever.

I'd suggest you write to support@open-mesh.com and see if they can help. My ipad and Kindle Fire HD and Samsung TV connect fine but my cell phone often loses its WiFi connection and I have to restart.

No, Sonos does NOT use your wifi network at all. It plugs into your wired Internet connection at your router, and creates its own wireless network, which is proprietary and not standard Wifi. In fact, that is the entire job of the Bridge. Sonos wireless network is a mesh, meaning all sonos devices in the network can relay signals. So the more sonos, the better the network, the better the range of coverage.

Apparently you do not need the bridge anymore. Due to the robustness of modern WIFI networks, the newest software update (as of September 2014) allows for WIFI connection, instead of their proprietary network. See: http://blog.sonos.com/news/introducing-an-even-simpler-sonos/

The bridge just provides a connection between your network and the Sonos wireless network, it doesn't have any audio connections of its own. If you have existing speakers and you want to use them with Sonos, I think you want the Connect:Amp product

I have a sonos connect in the living room connected to my tv as input and stereo as output and have a play 5 in the kitchen. The kitchen has an opening so I can watch the tv from the kitchen. The sound is perfectly in sync because I hear both the tv over the stereo via the connect and the sound from the play 5.

I would not buy this one. I replaced mine with a TP-Link router and it is a way better router and really easy to connect to. I left feed back on the one I bought to.Have a nice dayTed

You play everything through the sonos app, but the app connects to the other services to play the music - it doesn't import anything. I play my Amazon stuff, Beats music, Deezer, etc. - the app connects to each one as it needs to. If the app doesn't know how to connect to a service, you can't play from it, but sonos connects to most that I've heard of (there's a list on the sonos web site), or it will play from a hard disk on your home network.

A connect allowed me to hook up my rOnkyo receiver & speakers. I still needed a bridge for all the wireless sonos speakers. Hope that helps

I tried a netgear adapter first and never could get it to connect. I don't know if it was me or the device. When I tried to use the yamaha adapter I couldn't get it to connect either. I wound up using my free visit from the geeks to get mine working. It works well now.

Well I connected it to my onkyo system and worked fine ! Don't really know about the Sonos system req but if it can drive the speaker you will hear nice sound!

Hi Freddie, each Sonos speaker has a built-in bridge that will extend the signal so as long as you have a few Sonos speakers within range of each other you would not need another bridge. But if you did want to add another bridge for some reason, it would not have to be connected to a router directly.

I have a related but slightly different question. If I have Comcast and use this device as the transmitter (plugged into my router), can I use an old FiOS router in my living room as the receiver? Trying to determine if this would work so I can buy the single pack instead of the twin pack.

Mine worked very intermittently. I was able to get music to come out of it, but not very reliably. Try moving it around. You could also check if there's an update for the firmware for your access point.I ended up sending mine back because the music was constantly pausing.

during set up, how was the volume set in your computer/pad/phone? i control the volume in my setup, from my iPad. i believe that i too had that issue, and my son enlightened me. i may also have incorrectly set up the blue tooth. certainly glad my son is patient... because i have only been retired from being a computer programmer for over 30 years, would have hoped that i would have been able to set up a small speaker on my own!

I've unplugged it from time to time (really just to move it) and haven't had to reset it up. Since I've written the review, I have seen some AirPlay disconnects (even with setting a static IP address). I know that setting a static IP is the way to go, but again have had a couple interruptions of music.

You can control it with the Sonos app as you do with other Sonos components or you can use the TV remote. During the setup process you are guided to point the TV remote at the Playbar and press the volume button up and down. The setup recognizes it and synced them to work with one another. As with everything Sonos it worked flawlessly. You can also use the TV remote to turn it up and down while playing music, not just for TV watching.

You can control Sonos from a PC, if that is what you are asking. I run mine from my PC and my Kindle.
