can you use open mesh network with sonos

Yes. Just put them on SSID#2. See this FAQ from Cloudtrax - https://help.cloudtrax.com/hc/en-us/articles/202211040-My-printer-doesn-t-work-

I did the same thing with a single Sonos Connect. Hooked it up to the Dayton amp, set the volumes for each zone (on the back of the amp) to what I wanted, then I raise/lower the volume for everything through the Sonos app on my phone. Took a little bit to find the right rear-amp volume settings I wanted for each zone but once I had it going it was great.

I don't think that is possible. Sonos playbar only works with other Sonos devices.

I have the exact same problem, did you ever find a way to connect your Sonos. I have tried with and without my bridge.

Sonos Bridge males things easier, but Connect works fine, I have my speakers working with Connect.

It looks like the Sonos has optical in so you will be fine! I have 4 things plugged into mine and it has no problem switching from one to the other.

You play everything through the sonos app, but the app connects to the other services to play the music - it doesn't import anything. I play my Amazon stuff, Beats music, Deezer, etc. - the app connects to each one as it needs to. If the app doesn't know how to connect to a service, you can't play from it, but sonos connects to most that I've heard of (there's a list on the sonos web site), or it will play from a hard disk on your home network.

Hi Freddie, each Sonos speaker has a built-in bridge that will extend the signal so as long as you have a few Sonos speakers within range of each other you would not need another bridge. But if you did want to add another bridge for some reason, it would not have to be connected to a router directly.

I do not have the answer to that specific question. However, I recommend that you avoid this system DEPENDING ON YOUR REQUIRED USAGE. I had this setup attached to my computer in my office upstairs and it couldn't even reach the speakers I wanted to play downstairs (about 15 feet "as the crow flies" but through a ceiling and wall). I now use SONOS and it's incredible. They're expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Apparently you do not need the bridge anymore. Due to the robustness of modern WIFI networks, the newest software update (as of September 2014) allows for WIFI connection, instead of their proprietary network. See: http://blog.sonos.com/news/introducing-an-even-simpler-sonos/

Just plug in the additional song modules into the empty sockets. Very simple.

Yeah it supports DLNA. But Airplay is better. Try Airplay if your NAS supports. I have Synology and I can stream from DS Audio to these speakers easily.

Not really. Both speakers work off an 8ohm load. I have used the sonos with these speakers and it sounds good.

I asked Sonos support a somewhat similar question regarding using their DAC. If you don't care for the DAC in the Connect, you can always use the digital optical out on it (this bypasses its own internal DAC) and send it to whatever DAC you'd like for the conversion. Basically, as long as you aren't using any analog connection out, it stays digital and you can do whatever you'd like with it.

With the Bridge you will be able to stream to Play1/Play3/Play5/sound bar/Sub. If you have non-sonos speakers that is a different story depending on what type of receiver ect.

No computers use active speakers or hi-fi speakers (also call power speakers). sonos work as a separate amp for passive (nonpowered) speaker.

Yes. You can connect to any wired router, and it will act as an access point for that network. The HooToo has its own NAT by default, so you won't be able to connect to other devices on that LAN using the default settings. It easily provides a separate WIFI network for guest use (although the range is not great).
