Change from wi-fi to SONOSNET

Hi all,

I'm getting one or two drops from some of my SONOS speakers which are the furthest from my router.
I currently use seven SONOS speakers, they are all on the quietest channel so now I would like to move them all to use SONOSNET.

I realise I have to wire one speaker to start this process but have no idea how I move the remaining speakers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

      Just wire one, wait a few minutes and it's done. Check in About My Sonos System that every player has WM:0 next to it. This indicates SonosNet. To ensure future stability go into Wireless Setup and delete (reset) your Wi-Fi credentials.

      I think I just haven't noticed them there before, they were in WLAN which they aren't now.
      When the units were on WiFi they would clearly have appeared as such to the router. Now that they're on SonosNet they'll all appear to be wired.

      I know this thread is a little old but thought I would ask this here anyway. I just setup a new SONOS system with a PLAYBAR and a SUB in my living room.. I also have 2 PLAY:1's in other rooms. All are currently working via WiFi. I have a commercial grade advanced wireless system at home with 3 AP's serving the same SSID on different channels and power settings etc. I noticed that the SUB is the only device I don't see in my connected clients list, however it is working. All players show WM:1 except for the SUB which shows WM:2 What does this mean? I thought I would ask here before breaking out my wireless sniffer to see what was going on. Thanks!

      WM:2 means the SUB is connected to the PLAYBAR directly over 5GHz, whilst the rest of the system's in WiFi mode (WM:1).

        Ok thanks ratty.. I assumed that was the case but just wanted to verify.. I also assume if I were to expand the 3.1 to 5.1 with a pair of PLAY:1's in that room they would also likely pair that way to the PLAYBAR

        As surrounds, yes.
