How to determine if my Sonos system is using the Sonos mesh network and not home WiFi

I hooked up my playbar and hard wired it to my router after I had hooked up a wireless play 1. I would prefer to use the Sonos Mesh network how can I verify its setup this way?

    Hi Austin, go to 'About My Sonos System.' If you see WM:1 you're on Station mode (WiFi setup) whereas if you see WM:0 you're on SonosNet.

      Hello Mohammed, that's weird because I called the 1800 number after I didn't hear anything on here and I was told I was on sonosnet yet it shows me on WM:1. I assume I will need to unplug everything and figure out how to reset it to get it in the sonosnet correct?

      Can I take a look at a diagnostics report first if you don't mind submitting one? You just need to reply with the confirmation number.

      Your system's on the WiFi setup. You can change over to SonosNet simply by wiring one of your Sonos products to the router. After you've done so, wait about five minutes and then go to About My Sonos System to see if it still says WM:1.

      Can you not just remove the wifi settings again using the controller?

      Plugging a Sonos unit into router will auto switch it.

      I did this while waiting for a reply and saw that it was on WM:1 but now after adding a few more components I am back on WM:0 does it switch back to wifi if you have a certain amount of components? I now have two play 3's, one play 1, one soundbar and one connect amp.

      I was told it was not possible to have both SonosNet and WiFi simulataneously
      But I seem to have devices that are on both WM0 and WM1

      None of your devices are on Wi-Fi and SonosNet at the same time. WM:0 means it is connecting via SonosNet whilst WM:1 means it is connecting.

      This doesn't mean that the next time you check a device is using Wi-Fi when previously using SonosNet and vica-versa.

      But what they are most assuredly NOT doing is connecting to the network via the 2 networks simultaneously.
