Does this work with Sonos and Roku Streaming Stick? I can't get my Arris SB6121 to recognize my Sonos or Roku apps.. Just wondering if this Zyxel will

Hi. I'm not an expert in any of these devices. That being said, your Arris is a modem only (same as my Zyxel), and not a modem-router. The router part is what gives you the wireless part. Your Roku should work just fine when wired with an Ethernet cable to your modem. If that doesn't work, make sure first you you can access the internet at all by plugging a computer and googling something. The Sonos is a wireless device. The bridge should work when plugged to the router, but the speakers need a wireless network, so neither your Arris or my Zyxtel will do the trick because they aren't routers. I have my Zyxtel (modem) plugged to an Apple Airport Express (router), and I also have an Apple TV (analogous to your Roku) and wireless speakers, working great. So don't replace your Arris just yet (assuming it's working properly), but add a router to it. That should do the trick. Good luck!

I see from other answer that it may have issues with Apple products so I am not sure as I have Roku. Good luck.

I have a Roku stick, not a Kindle Fire, but it's the same in terms of basic function. My TV has only one HDMI input, but in addition to the Roku stick I have a cable box, so I need to switch. The Monoprice splitter works perfectly.

You can control it with the Sonos app as you do with other Sonos components or you can use the TV remote. During the setup process you are guided to point the TV remote at the Playbar and press the volume button up and down. The setup recognizes it and synced them to work with one another. As with everything Sonos it worked flawlessly. You can also use the TV remote to turn it up and down while playing music, not just for TV watching.

Well I connected it to my onkyo system and worked fine ! Don't really know about the Sonos system req but if it can drive the speaker you will hear nice sound!

I plugged in a Roku streaming stick and it works if that helps. Sound on device is okay for quiet situations. I have mine on a home theater system.

I just bought one for a ROKU XS. I get no video on the component outputs. The output is going into a Yamaha RXV1 then into a Mitsubishi HD TV.

What type of adapter are you talking about? I bought this because my Xfinity cable box, Blue-ray were HMDI capable, the plasma TV would only provide HDMI audio output if the receiver system plugged in by HDMI. Unfortunately the Sonos play bar only uses digital audio optical which conflicted with the TV's requirements. This allows me to plug everything and acts as the adapter, you could say, in this case.

This works seamlessly with Apple TV, I don't see why it wouldn't work with Roku also...

Very interesting --especially since the Roku website says XD is compatible with WPA2. I presume the BD85 was ok with WPA2 -- right?

Yup. That was my entire reason for the purchase. I use it with my Apple TV and ROKU media streamers. Works great!

Greg,I can stream from an iPhone 3/4, a droid RAZR and a droid RAZR m. The weird thing is I have a 4 speaker system and streaming only works on the main 2. All 4 work on other inputs.You can change the LEDs to a bunch of different colors or have them do a disco auto changing thing

It works only with the Creative Labs transmitter. You connect any audio source with an RCA or 3mm pin audio cable to the transmitter. The transmitter then wirelessly streams to the receiver which can be connected to an audio tuner/amplifier or directly to a speaker with audio inputs. Great for streaming from one transmitter to multiple receivers in different rooms. Cheaper than Sonos. Works great for me and sound quality is super. Sad you can't get them easily to buy anymore.

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

Yes. I use both Dish and Roku and they work great. Decent sounding speakers as well.

I have no experience with Roku, But the Sima is a simple switch that does not modify the signal or significantly weaken the signal. So I would expect it to work with any signal that works in a direct connection.
