Playbar Ethernet ports

I am still a little confused by the conversation above. If the soundbar is set up in WiFi mode will the Ethernet ports still be operational? The reason in asking is that I would like to daisy chain my TV via the soundbar, so both the soundbar and TV have access to the greater capacity and reliability of a wired connection. Is this possible?

The Ethernet ports on all Sonos devices are disabled in WiFi aka Standard setup. You would need one of the ports connected to the router for the setup you describe.

No, as stated before when Sonos is on WiFi (standard setup) the ethernet ports are not active, only when at least one Sonos device is wired to the network (Boost setup).

Thanks guys for helping to clarify, so if I go back and reconfigure the soundbar using Boost setup I can connect via Ethernet to the router and then daisy chain to the TV, is that correct? Under this arrangement will I still have access to the WiFi for the Sub and for controlling the soundbar via the Sonas App on our mobiles?

If your using Sonosnet (any single Sonos device hooked to router - like the boost) then the Ethernet ports on the back of Sonos units are direct connections back to router and internet. Everything as far as your mobile app and everything else will work just as it does in wifi only mode.

Just also thought that as I already have an optical link between the soundbar and TV, does this create the daisy chain effect for the TV once the Soundbar has been connected to the router via Ethernet using Boost setup.

The optical cable for audio has nothing to do with the wireless or network connections. That is bitstream audio.

Thank you
