I’ve had no luck in using the second ethernet port (tried switching left to right as well) on any of my six Play 5 Gen 1 speakers to extend on to another device, in this case, my win box computer. I got all these speakers used and just wondering if this was a failure point in them or not intended for this purpose. They work fine otherwise.

They are only active in Sonosnet, or wired mode. If all your units are wireless and you are connecting to your Wi-Fi, the Ethernet ports are inactive. Wire one of your Sonos devices to an Ethernet port on your router, or use a Boost.

Thank you.
Note that the Ethernet ports are 10/100.

Please also note that we do not recommend connecting third-party devices to your Sonos system via ethernet as it may degrade playback reliability.
