Check your product’s Wireless Mode

Sonos app version 80.0

Wireless Mode information is currently unavailable in the Sonos app for iOS or Android, but it will return in a future update.


As a temporary workaround, you can find this information in the Sonos app for macOS or Windows.

The About My System screen shows all the Sonos products in your household and the Wireless Mode (WM) that they are in. Look for the row under each product that says WM.

Wireless mode
