Ace with wired soundbar

I am thinking about buying Ace but as I understand it the home theatre must be on wifi?  I have my soundbar hardwired with ethernet, so does that mean Ace won’t work for listening to TV through Sonos Ace?

The WiFi must be turned on for the Sonos soundbar to connect to the Ace headphones.

    The wifi off (actually disable the internal radio) setting is also needed to connect to Sub and Surrounds, something the App doesn't clearly warn about.

      Just because the soundbar is wired does not force the WiFi off. You have to explicitly turn off the radio/wifi, it doesn’t automatically do so when you wire it.
