Just wondering.   I have a Comcast modem/router.  And a Google mesh.  And a Sonos Boost connected to the Google nest router.

What's better for connectivity performance? 

Comcast as the wifi network with the boost and using Sonosnet? 

Or using the Google mesh with the Boost and sonosnet?

Essentially, once your using SonosNet, the rest of the system makes no difference, as long as it’s set up properly ( both the comcast and the Google nest can’t be acting as DHCP devices, it needs to be one or the other) .

If what you have set up currently is working, stick with it, don’t make any changes.

What exactly is DHCP and how to check that?

One  of your two devices should be set in Bridge mode. Check with either Comcast, or with Google. They should be able to help you.
