All Wander homes come packed with neat amenities, including a Sonos sound system that allows you to play your favorite music seamlessly throughout the house. 

Never used a Sonos before? Not to worry because we laid out the instructions for you!

Easiest: Connecting Through WiFi

Follow the steps below to connect to Sonos through the WiFi.

Step 1 

Go to your phone's settings and make sure you're connected to the Wander network wifi.

Step 2 

Open your streaming service on your phone. This can be Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc.

Step 3

In your streaming service, play your chosen song and tap on the AirPlay icon.  The AirPlay icon looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing up at the bottom. Choose one or more Sonos products to stream the same audio across all of them using AirPlay.

Step 4

You may control the music directly in your streaming service.

Step 5

Alternatively, you can control Sonos by downloading the Sonos S2 app on your Apple or Android device. Ensure you are connected to the Wander Wifi and access the "System" tab on the app (sound bar icon in the middle) to control Sonos in the house.
