Sonos, problem with Wi-Fi and LAN connection.

We have 6 Sonos AMPs at our client. Three are connected from switch 1 and three are on switch 2.
On switch 2, duplicate devices are displayed and disconnect these Sonos and Sonos'AMP switches to Wi-Fi Sonos. How can I prevent SONOS from turning on WI-Fi and how can I prevent Wi-Fi connectivity from turning on separately.
Current SW, devices are about a month old.
Thank you for your help.

You can disable the Wifi in the device settings for that amp in that room.

Go to the setting page for the room the amp has be set up in.  (note only 1 amp per room) then look a the Product details, click on that and the Connection setting are shown.

Make sure you carefully set up the network to handle STP / RSTP issues that Sonos causes with managed switches, else you’ll get a network storm.

I'm more concerned with Sonos creating its own Wifi and streaming through another Sonos AMP device because there was a LAN outage, poor connectivity.
Then it happens that it somehow duplicates itself in the network and the Ubiquti switch turns it off and then the entire network goes down. The router has to be restarted.

If the wifi module is disabled, there won’t be any wifi at all that could be used. Also the SonosNet can’t be set up or be used by the device.
