PlayBar
Sub
Play1s Surround
Is there an advantage to doing so? It plays fine now via WiFi but my signal is not that strong in this part of the house.

View originalHey, related question: my theater/basement has poor WiFi. I have a sound bar and two play ones for surround. Playbar is wired and surround play ones cannot be wired. It’s set up as a room with sound bar and L and R play ones.
In settings, do I need to change the sound bar to turn off WiFi? If turned off, will the surround speakers be relying on WiFi from upstairs, and not from the wired sound bar?
Thanks
Don’t turn off wifi on the PLAYBAR. It uses the same antenna to communicate on a separate 5Ghz channel that you can’t see to the surround speakers. As long as you’re not streaming music to it, you’re fine, it gets the data from the TV on the optical connection.
If you were to 'disable wifi' on the Playbar your wireless surrounds would become non-functioning for all sources. Don't do it.
