System working but poor network matrix. Assessment needed

My network seems to be working quite well.  I recently added a new Play One SL and was curious about my Sonos network so I pulled up the network matrix.  My Living Room (LF, RF), Living Room (SW) and Deck are connected via ethernet.  Deck is actually a Connect:AMP that sits near my server cabinet.  None of the other speakers are on WiFi except for the move.  I connect them to ethernet to setup and that is it.

I assume the red boxes are bad.  What can I do to improve that?

It’s good that Deck is wired because the Noise Floor is too high for practical wireless support. I agree with Stanley_4 that something near Deck is polluting the area. You may also have something near Living Room. Cable boxes or streaming boxes can sometimes cause issues.

The red is usually local RF noise, not always from a radio equipped product. My problem device was a simple WD hard drive that needed to be a meter from my speaker for music to play well.
