TV line out HDMI arc to hdmi in on amp. Everything works perfectly. Connect gen 1 system not set up yet so Connect gen 1 is idle at the moment. Ethernet from sonos amp, connect gen 1 and laptop to router. Router is Wireless 7 from spectrum.

HDMI wireless transmitter /receiver was already set up and working with transmitter out on laptop hdmi to remote tv hdmi in (not arc).

From amp to remote tv? I’m probably not understanding what you’re trying to do.

But, if your hdmi transmitter / receiver setup doesn’t work while your Sonos devices are unplugged, then Sonos has nothing to do with your problem.

Gotcha...thanks….my thoughts are maybe router and sonos have a connected channel now that has changed the ability for computer hdmi trans and receiver to pair? Sonos is also wirelessly connected to computer, and can be controlled from the comp

It is highly unlikely you are saturating a wifi channel with a single TV link.

What makes you think that is happening?

What does your wifi monitor show for channel utilization? Under 60% should be usable.

ARC is an output, not an input. There seems to be a lot of confusion here...

I'm too confused to continue, what does a TV monitor have to do with monitoring a wifi channel?

Wireless transmitter is in hdmi plug in on laptop computer as source signal…..wireless receiver is on monitor tv hdmi arc plug in for receiving source signal from laptop
