Where to site a boost

This could be very helpful- thank you. 
If I understand correctly, I could plug the boost into a network socket away from the Wi-Fi router to increase coverage? 
 

is it best to connect one of the other devices by cable rather than rely on Wi-Fi. They are all on Wi-Fi at the moment. 
 

Are you experiencing any issues? Many of us prefer SonosNet, but if the system works with WiFi there is no need to change anything.

The Boost will not increase coverage of your WiFi as it replaces it with the Sonosnet wireless signal. I think the Move and Roam will still use your WiFi, don’t have either.

I have a Boost sitting in a drawer, once I wired a couple other Sonos I could see that none of my un-wired Sonos were connecting to the Boost.

If you have other wired Sonos you could use a Boost to extend the range of the connection they are offering, or if wired give you an additional connection point for other wireless Sonos.

Almost always wasted money and power draw these days but in a few special situations it has a purpose. I’d start without it and look at your internal data, maybe even send Sonos a diagnostic and discuss it with them before adding a Boost.

Once a Sonos is wired try the Sonos Network Matrix, replace my 172.xxx IP with yours, keep the :1400 part.

It should look like this (shrunk too far to be usable) and let you see what your connections are. If you want help with yours you can post one (large enough for folks to read the print) and you’ll usually get some good advice.

Thank you. Very comprehensive and techy / detailed. Sorry to ask such a basic question but where can I easily find my IP address to drop it in the link. 
 

thanks again. 

Your router should have IP information, either under the DNS or DHCP settings pages.
