I have also been using the Boost for a few years and am also very satisfied. I don't know how long it can still be provided with updates. This would have to be requested directly from Sonos.
As far as I know and have read (directly at Sonos on the link), the Boost makes its own WLAN and does not integrate into your existing WLAN. https://www.sonos.com/en-us/guides/boost
Hi all, what about when I have the Ikea boxes and Beam? Does it still work? Thanks for your feedback
I have three Ikea boxes and it seems to work. The technology, apart from the looks, is pretty standard Sonos stuff. So all the Sonos features should actually work.
Hello, I had a Play5 in operation via network cable, then two Play3 and an Ikea Sonos via w-lan. I had constant disconnections and split rooms, so the system didn't play in sync and I couldn't play all the speakers at the same time. After I bought the small Boost, the problems disappeared.
this is not a question!!!!!!
Of course, but you can't or don't want to pull a cable everywhere. That's where the boost really helps.

I would ask the Sonos customer service directly. They helped me very competently with a completely different problem. Simpler problems can be solved via chat, if it's more complicated, you can call.
Hello I only had problems with SALT fiber and Sonos, so I equipped the whole house with Ubiquiti APs and completely deactivated the WLAN from the SALT router. Since I also wanted to provide the garden with sound, the WLAN performance of the Sonos Net was too weak. In your case, however, it could be sufficient with the One SL.
Hello, the boost is supposed to provide more range and, unlike the bridge, is not yet listed as a legacy product. If a LAN cable from the router to the first sonos component is feasible, then you do not need a boost. As far as your WiFi is concerned, the problems are most likely with sonos as well, but the boost won't solve them either. I had serious problems and changed router and repeater several times, but nothing helped. Since I entered a DHCP reservation for all participants in the router setup, the problems are gone.

I connect SONOS Boost directly to the router, then I have a Connect Amp and a Sonos speaker (I assume it's called One, it's older). I connect a pair of Bose speakers to the Connect Amp. My flat is about 150 square metres. The Boost is in the middle, the Connect Amp and the Sonos One are each about 10 m away from the Boost, in opposite directions. I have never had any problems with the connection. If you only have one One SL, it's certainly enough to connect them directly with the network cable. But if you want to have Sonos products in the whole house, you'll need a Boost to get uninterrupted music enjoyment. Have a look at the Sonos page, which clearly shows you the advantages of the Boost. https://www.sonos.com/de-ch/shop/boost.html
Exactly. A SONOS system only needs one component connected via LAN cable. It doesn't matter which one. Alternatively, since a few OS generations, SONOS can also be connected "only" via WLAN - i.e. completely wirelessly.

No, it does not seem to be the case. At least the SONOS website only mentions the white version, as do other websites (ask Dr. Google).

Has been added to our range: SONOS Boost Power Supply (White)

Ciao HansPeter. First disconnect everything from the power supply, remove the bridge from the network, then connect Boost to the network and power supply. Then re-register the whole Sonos system with Boost. Greetings, Giusi

I myself have installed 2 bridges at friends and this has worked. The Boost has an of about 50% more power than the bridge. That's why I installed a Boost in my house. I now have great reception everywhere.
The Sonos BOOST creates a second network just for SONOS products. The BOOST is then connected to a router via Ethernet.
