Hi all. So I want a wired network connection to my Beam. Rather then routing a separate ethernet cable, will a HDMI with ethernet cable from the Samsung TV’s eArc connection provide a wired connection to the Beam? TV has a wired connection via ethernet.

Beam HDMI with Ethernet

No opinion required. Beam can't get a network connection over HDMI.
Either wire it via Ethernet, or connect it wirelessly using SonosNet or WiFi.

thanks fpr the replies. i ask becuase the TV is new and the beam (wired with ethernet via switch) is showing up with a local ip address on the device list on the tv. My old tv also samsung showed it as sonos beam
If the IP is not resolved to a name it's just a quirk of the TV.
