Hi. Is your surround setup working OK?  I suspect it is.

The ERA100s, when connected as surround speakers, are just “slaves” of the Arc and connect vis the Arc rather than directly to your router.  I think this explains what you are seeing.

The Arc is connected to SonosNet. SonosNet is 2.4GHz.

The Eras needed to connect to WiFi for initial setup. They’re now Arc satellites, connected directly to Arc. In operation they will be on a 5GHz private channel. When idle they’ll use the same 2.4GHz physical channel as SonosNet, but still connected to Arc.
