Hi, I currently have an arc, sub gen 3 and two era 300s. Is there a benefit to connecting the ARC through Ethernet? Does it still create sonosnet and if so do the eras still work?

if the ARC is replaced with an ultra does this have do the same?

I am a little unclear on this as some info suggests sonosnet does not work with newer models, but if this is true why would you connect the ARC ultra by Ethernet if it does not help with Ethernet sub and surround connection etc?

I also have some ones in other rooms, how would the benefit, if at all?

Just doing some research before I make any changes 😊

I'd stay with Wi-Fi unless Sonos support suggests wiring it.

Reasons get complicated, the wired/wireless FAQ may help.

It will create a Sonosnet which is likely to be inferior to your Wi-Fi. Surrounds use a dedicated, invisible to post tools 5 gHz link. The 300s would use that or Wi-Fi unless you wire them too. Other Sonos would try to 7se the Sonosnet. 

Connecting with Ethernet solves some problems (which you may not have) but brings some (which you may end up with) too so best avoid it if possible.
