Ninja Tip: Before resetting, check if your speaker is simply disconnected from your Wi-Fi by toggling your router off and on, as a power cycle often fixes connection issues without needing a full factory reset.

To perform a factory reset, follow the steps above or navigate to Settings > System > [Speaker Name] > Remove Product in the Sonos app.
