Humour me here, but is it possible to create a mixed wired/wireless network where the wireless devices are connected to regular wifi and SonosNet is disabled?
Here is my scenario...
I have a large 5x AP wifi network which provides great coverage throughout my house, but obviously I am using all 3 non-overlapping 2.4GHz wifi channels to provide this coverage.
I have about 20 Sonos devices, all connected to the wifi, working fine.
But I also have in excess of 100x IOT devices on the 2.4GHz wifi - low bandwidth, but can be quite chatty. I’d like to offload as much traffic off the 2.4GHz network as possible, so I’m thinking of wiring some of the Sonos devices. I have wired Ethernet in a bunch of places where I could easily wire to a Sonos device, but not all Sonos devices.
I want to avoid the wired devices setting up SonosNet, as I don’t want to be creating interference on any 2.4GHz channel. That would be counter-productive.
So my ideal would be that I wire up the Sonos devices that I can, and the rest stay connected to the regular wifi.
Is this possible? If so how do I do it?
Thanks for any help.
