Perhaps this will help:

“Colors in the left column denote the ambient RF noise seen by the Sonos unit. Colored cells in the body of the matrix indicate the state and strength of the 'tunnels' across the mesh:

  • A gray cell means that the Sonos isn't sending data wirelessly between the 2 units. This is expected if the 2 players are connected through a network cable, as the wired connection is typically more reliable and therefore preferred to a wifi path.
  • A green, yellow, or red cell indicate an active path. The actual color is used to encode the strength of the wireless signal.

OFDM signal levels go from 0 to 5, where 5 is best and 0 is way too low to get a reliable connection. Noise floors are typically in the [-80 -110] range, where -110 is considered excellent and -80 bad.”

so The most important is What Colour The body has ?

What about The red ones in left Columbia ?

 

and How Can “loungen v kontor” and “loungen over bar” be red - They are both on cabel to The router (same router that The bridge is connected to)

 

and does it look good or is it baaaaaaddddd ??

Focus on the music, not the looks of the matrix. The only time you should be worried is when the music begins to break up.

Focus on the music, not the looks of the matrix. The only time you should be worried is when the music begins to break up.

But that is Whats happening - sometimes 1-2-3 speakers disspear, or Music stops.

 

Thats why Im eperimenting with a bridge i just bought, cabeling speakers etc.

 

but i dont fully understand How to read The matrix so i know When The things i do actually is improving The total setup
