Leveraging Pervasive Technology for a Better Life

Sonos works as a network extender! (wireless bridge)

So I was randomly playing with my xbox and needed a LAN port as the office Cat6 runs are not all terminated.  I have a sonos zone in the home office now as part of a recent wife requested audio build out. So strapped for ports, I plugged the xbox into one of the two Ethernet ports on the back of the sonos cube and bam… instant internet.  The xbox sees this as a “wired” connection.  Of course now that I realize this capability, sure enough I am finding posts about it.  So if you are looking to give some ethernet connectivity to rooms of your house AND looking for a fantastic whole house audio solution, Give sonos a try!  www.sonos.com
