Thanks to all for the assistance.

And a special note of thanks to those who worked so very hard to resist the urge to comment derisively. ;-)

OK, gonna put the 'bridge' up for sale on ebay, or at least in the basement storage room.

The Apple Airport Express is sitting right next to the SONOS Connect and is configured as:

Network Mode: Expand a Wireless Network
Wireless Network Name: Apple WiFi Network (name of my wifi network)

Now, of course, I have no way of knowing exactly where my SONOS Connect is getting it's signal, but assuming IF the SONOS is configured to log into 'Apple WiFi Network' and it must be as it is playing at this moment without the 'Bridge', and the AirPort Express is extending that network up to the listening room, then I'm good.

The folks a 'Wyred4Sound' caution that their upgrade will somehow impair the ability of the CONNECT from working properly on a wireless network, which is the main for this little exercise, as I have no Ethernet connection in the third floor listening room. :-(

So I suppose having a properly functioning AirPort express sitting a foot or so from the CONNECT should be fine even if the modification somehow blocks the or decreases the effectiveness of the radio in the CONNECT.

Worth $500 to find out?

Now have the SONOS CONNECT attached to the AirPort Express via an audiophile grade 'Computer Audio Asylum' approved Rosewill Cat 7 cable (the one with the shielded RJ45 plugs that are attached to the drain wire that runs the length of the cable and therefore each other, forming a perfect ground loop between the two boxes). :-)

And it now PLAYS, which it did not before so that's progress I guess.

Thanks again to everyone for the help!

Speaking of sound, I suspect it now sounds way better than when it would not play at all. :)

I hope all works out for you.

Cheers.

.. But the main thing is you got it sorted and it is now playing. If you are happy with the results, that is that really matters.

As you know, many here are never pleased with anything anybody else does.

Cheers.
