Currently have an Arc, two play 1’s and a sub for home theater with Boost wired to my router. Should I get rid of the boost when I replace the two play 1’s with Era 100’s? Not sure if this is needed any longer.

The proposed HT system will work with, or without, the Boost. The Era HT ‘surrounds’ when ‘bonded’ will not connect either to the Router, or the Boost, but instead they each connect over a 5Ghz ad-hoc wireless connection ‘direct’ to the Sonos Arc. So the setup will work fine with/without the Boost, but if you do opt to remove the Boost, then just ensure the routers WiFi credentials have been added to your setup.
