Follow these steps within the Sonos app:

  • Select “Set up a new system.”
  • Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
  • Enter your Wi-Fi password if prompted.
  • The app will search for the Sonos Era 100 and connect it to your network.

Ensure your smartphone or tablet remains connected to the same Wi-Fi network during setup.

Configuring Audio Settings

Once connected, you can customize your audio preferences:

  • Adjust bass, treble, and loudness settings.
