TV Surrond Sound with Remote AMP

Question

Good day.

I’m currently installing a setup of a Sonos Arc Ultra under the main TV, with x2 ceiling speakers going back to a remote Sonos AMP.

Both have Ethernet on the same network.

My question;

If the Sonos Arc under the TV is connected via ethernet, does it matter where the Sonos Amp powering the ceiling speakers sits as long as it’s on the same network to create a Room/ Surround? (Roughly 35m away in a comms room).

Thanks

With both on Ethernet it might work, not sure either way. It has been discussed here in the past if you want to search up old topics.

I’d put both on the same switch to increase the odds.

The surround sound is usually sent on a private and hidden WiFi link that is optimized for low latency so you want as little delay as possible.

Ideally the Amp should be in the same room as the Arc Ultra because it communicates with the Amp wirelessly via a private 5GHz connection.
