comment
" ...  Sonos wireless is a private, wireless "mesh" system, separate from your home WiFi. ... It routes music through its own wireless, leaving your home WiFi untouched. ... Having one of the components connected turns it into a wireless access point (or as consumers tend to call it, a "Wifi router".) ... The BRIDGE or other speaker strengthens the wireless from the nearest one, and extends the range to the one in the Garage. ... Each Sonos component is both a wireless client, and a wireless access point/repeater. ... This allows you to use your mobile device further away from your home WiFi.  ...  "
comment
" ...  First what Sonos did right: like their other products it’s pretty easy to set up, and the integration via Wi-Fi is slick.  ...  "
