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?

    WM:2 is a different mode. It signifies that the satellites rely on the main HT speaker to negotiate (proxy) with the router. In fact it didn't exist when WiFi mode was first introduced; initially WiFi mode didn't support home theatre satellites.

    I am only greasing, but in one case it is all SonosNet (some using 2.4 GHz, some 5GHz), and WM:0 means SonosNet (or wired). In the other case data gets to the Playbar via wifi, and from there to the surrounds via 5GHz SonosNet. Which defines WM:2.
