Hello,
Can I use the available port on the Sonos Boost as a regular ethernet switch and, thus, use it to extend my network coverage or is it to use only with any other Sonos devices ?
Thanks in advance.

You can use the other port on the Boost for a non-Sonos device.
The bandwidth is limited to 100Mbps when using the Boost port.

Considering that you can get an Ethernet switch that won’t impact your Sonos system for only a few bucks using the second Sonos port doesn’t seem a good idea to me.
Far too easy to overload the limited 100Mbps connection when you hook up a device designed for current LAN standards to it.
Like one of these: (check the Sonos compatible hardware list too)
I completely agree. Thanks all for helping.
