Trying to put two systems on the same wifi isn't recommended and you are unlikely to be happy with the result.

If you really, really, really want two systems add a second wifi on a second ssid.

You need to add the new devices to your existing system, but name them for the room you’re putting them in.

Are you trying to setup a second system with different log-in credentials or just another room with a soundbar and/or speakers?

I don’t understand your post very well due to the missing letters/words??

For what it may be worth, I have two ‘home theater’ systems set up in my home, I just labeled one ‘Living Room TV’ and  the other ‘Bedroom TV’. No need to use separate Sonos ‘household/accounts’ or SSIDs, they’re just part of the same system.
