using both wifi and ethernet connection

Hello,
I have a couple of play 1 and a single play 5.
My problem is that where the play 5 is located wifi coverage is really low and unstable so I have used an ethernet cable to link it to the lan.
The play 1 are both located in two rooms very near to the router and the wifi coverage is very strong and steady, and anyways I have no chance here to connect them with an ethernet cable.
I don't know if this is a normal behaviour but as soon as I connect the play 5 with cable it immediately switch in boost mode becoming itself hotspot for the other two play 1 but due to problem shown upper it is to far and often play one units lose the connection.
Is there a way to configure play 5 on ethernet and play 1 on wifi provided by router?
thanks in advance for you kind support.
regards

    The Boost give you Sonos Net v2, the Bridge is I believe only v1. I spent a couple bucks more to get the Boost and am very happy with my system's stability now.

    As I have several wired Sonos devices as well as several WiFi ones I did tweak the Boost to be the Root but apparently that isn't needed.
