Add one more Sonos Boost to improve performance in remote room

I am running SonosNet and has a Boost hardwired to my router. To my understanding, the Boost creates a mesh network (together with all the speakers - I have speakers in 4 rooms).

In the most remote room, the connection is poor with some dropouts. Would yet another Boost half way between the remote room and the existing Boost help?

The new Boost cannot be hardwired.

Ah, I was looking in the wrong place. Vardagsrum (LF,RF) is getting its connection via 5GHz off the wired Sub.

This is all wrong. Remove the wire from the Sub. As I’ve pointed out, you simply don’t need a wired connection into Vardagsrum. There’s an available wireless connection to the primary Boost at a good signal strength of ~50.

So the Playbar is no longer hardwired. Not sure whether there was an improvement.

Vardagsrum (LF,RF) is still showing as wired.

Wired - weird indeed! Maybe I need to reboot it.

The sub is wired, however. It is not wired via Powerline, but rather straight to a switch that is wired to the Velop (main node).

I am puzzled by the absence of node information for Vardagsrum (LF,RF), and wonder if having the Sub wired (normally not advised) is causing some strange data routing here. But I look forward as much as @StockholmRocker to enlightenment from @ratty !
