I bought two of the ethernet to usb-c dongles in the hopes of returning my setup off wifi. I’m using the Eras 300s as rears in connection with an Arc and Sub Gen 3.
I can see that the dongles are working, but the era 300s are also still connecting over wifi. When I disable the wifi on the Arc/sub the Eras switch to WM:1 and the audio immediately gets choppy and stays that way (whether connected via ethernet or not).
As a test, I temporarily renamed my wifi to see if the Eras would fall back to the ethernet connection, but instead they just drop out entirely. Is there anyway to force them to just use ethernet? My previous One SLs worked flawlessly as ethernet surrounds.
I want the ability disable the wireless for at least two reasons:
Living in Brooklyn there’s already a ton of wireless interference so cutting down on unnecessary (particularly stationary) wireless is always nice.
When I leave wireless enabled on the Arc, the Ones, which I relocated to my bedroom prioritize connecting to it via sonosnet instead of my wireless router. The Arc is further away than my router and there are many more objects and walls in between that make it particularly less ideal for wireless signal, so the ones regularly disconnect and their status lights flash on and off for a few minutes until they re-establish connection. Not really the bedroom aesthetic either me or my girlfriend are going for.
