Check if Sonos is in a wireless or wired setup

Your Sonos products can be configured in either a wireless or wired setup. This article shows you how to check if your Sonos products are connecting via WiFi (wireless setup) or SonosNet (wired setup).


iOS or Android: From the Settings tab, tap System > About My System.

macOS: Click Sonos > About My Sonos System.

Windows: Click Help > About My Sonos System.


Check your product’s Wireless Mode

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.
