i have a bunch of sonos.
now also 2 play5 in other building beside my house which most of sonos is on one access point in this building 2 i have another wifi access point and on the same Lan network , and controlled by the same dhcp router
but in building 2 i can only connect the 2 play5 using wired connection
i would really prefer not to use cables in building2

Any Sonos unit can be wired. (Sonos' choice of nomenclature for SonosNet mode -- 'BOOST setup' -- is a little confusing since a BOOST is not mandatory.) In terms of signal strength, PLAY:1 is pretty much the same as BOOST. But BOOST evidently has better interference rejection, such as from a nearby router.

Basically, if you want to use a player as the wired component then do so. If it's inconvenient to wire a player, get a BOOST instead.

If a player is as good and also signal strength as a boost , then i will buy 2 small players ,,,,, more value for money
