Claim:
A method of connecting a device to a secure network for one or more playback devices, the method comprising: receiving a manual user action at a zone player that is unconfigured for a secure network, wherein the manual user action initiates an automatic establishment of a connection to the secure network by the zone player; transmitting, by the zone player responsive to the manual user action, a first message over an unsecure network to be received by a device configured for the secure network, wherein the first message indicates that the zone player is available to join the secure network; receiving, over the unsecure network by the zone player, a second message from the device, wherein the second message is generated responsive to receipt of the first message and wherein the second message includes a security parameter to be used by the zone player to join the secure network; and establishing a connection to the secure network by the zone player using the security parameter without further input by any user via either the zone player or the device.
