Why does one speaker show WM: 0 and another WM:1 when both are wireless?

I’ve been troubleshooting some issues with my Sonos set-up after the introduction of a new router from my ISP provider.

I have a Sonos SL One in a detached garage and one in an attached garage. Both run wireless. I do not have them set up as stereo pair. One shows WM: 0 and the other has WM: 1.

I have many other devices connected by Ethernet (amps, Sonos One, etc.) but not these two speakers.

I’m confused why one of these would show WM 1 and the other WM 0. Shouldn’t they be the same?

Both have Wifi enabled if that matters.

Thank you.

I’d counter that with a recommendation that you should never turn off Wi-Fi on any Sonos device, unless you can prove that it’s receiving Wi-Fi interference. Reinforcing the SonosNet mesh network is why, something you definitely want to do.

Some security cameras require a managed switch. I’m sure that a major decision point for using this switch is that it is PoE. A few years ago, this switch was easily available and reasonably priced, compared to the alternatives. As is the case with most networking technology, formerly esoteric and expensive is now mainstream.
