Embodiments are provided for causing a playback device to be automatically added to a secure network for rendering media in synchrony with other devices in the secure network. The playback device may, without any input from a user, transmit a first message indicating that the playback device is available to join the network. Upon receiving the first message, a device already in the secure network may transmit to the playback device a second message indicating security parameters for joining the network. The playback device may then join the secure network accordingly. Embodiments are also provided for causing a playback device to be automatically configured, without any input from a user. Another device in the secure network may receive a configuration table indicating setup information for the playback device, and may subsequently transmit the setup information to the playback device and cause the playback device to be configured accordingly. |

1. A method for automatically connecting a playback device to a secure network, the method comprising:
receiving, by a controller device of a media playback system, a configuration table from a server over a wide area network, wherein the configuration table corresponds to the media playback system; determining, by the controller device, that the configuration table includes an entry corresponding to the playback device, wherein the entry indicates that the playback device is not joined to the secure network, and wherein the controller device and one or more pre-configured playback devices of the media playback system are interconnected via the secure network; based on the entry indicating that the playback device is not joined to the secure network, listening, by the controller device, for a first message from the playback device over an unsecure network, wherein the first message indicates that the playback device is available to join the secure network; receiving, by the controller device, the first message over the unsecure network; transmitting, by the controller device, in response to the first message, a second message comprising a security parameter to be used by the playback device to connect to the secure network; and facilitating, by the controller device, establishment of a connection between the playback device and the secure network based on the security parameter such that the playback device is interconnected with the controller device and the one or more pre-configured playback devices via the secure network. |
