Can I use Sonos speakers without an internet connection?

Yes, Sonos speakers require an internet connection to function. The Sonos ecosystem relies on internet connectivity to communicate between devices, access streaming services, and receive software updates. However, it is possible to use Sonos speakers without an active internet connection in limited scenarios. Without an internet connection, Sonos can still play audio from devices connected directly via Ethernet or using the Sonos app's "On this iPhone/iPad" feature. This allows you to stream music stored locally on your device, such as personal music libraries or streaming services stored offline. It's important to note that while this local playback is possible without an internet connection, the full functionality and features of Sonos speakers are only available when connected to the internet.
