Bought a Sonos One SL to test it before equipping my whole house with Sonos products. My 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi connection at home is extremely erratic (Salt Fiber). However, the One runs fine when I hook it up directly to my router via Ethernet cable (which is understandable). It could serve directly as a connection point to future Sonos products. Sonos states that ONE product can be connected directly to the router in case of problems with WLAN connection. This could be any Sonos product. What concrete advantage does the Boost bring over the One SL as an "access point" and wouldn't it be enough to just leave my One SL on it? By the way, my house has three floors, all of which are to be equipped with Sonos products. If anything, this would be an important argument for or against one of the options mentioned. Thank you in advance for your feedback(s).

Accepted Answer

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
