Using Ethernet vs WifI on Sonos devices

On my Sonos 2 systems (2 Amps and 1 Port), I hard-wired all 3 using ethernet to save Wi-Fi bandwidth. It works great until there is a glitch in the power or internet provider; they can never get back online automatically. However, if do not use ethernet connection and just use Wi-Fi for all 3, when power goes out or if there is a glitch in the internet, they all automatically find there way back online where I can use them via the app. This only happens with my S2 products, my S1 products (Connect:Amp and Connect:Port) are hard-wired too and they find there way back online. Not sure what is going on with S2 and ethernet option… any suggestions?

Thank you,

Bill

My thought is that the iMac M1 for some silly reason can discover ‘n’ devices, but you have ‘n+1’ devices.

Thanks for all your help and thoughts. Yeah, it’s weird. There’s no rhyme or reason what speakers S2 will discover on each restart of Sonos on the iMac M1. I’m over it…...
