Why does the Works with Sonos capability for my Receivers require that my Sonos Port has to be on Wi-Fi only vs Ethernet? If the Port is plugged into Ethernet on the same network/subnet (i.e. into switches that are going to the same router as the WiFi signal but hardwired instead of on wi-fi) My Pioneer and Onkyo receivers - both of which have Works with Sonos capability - don’t find the Sonos Port. The feature only seems to work if i unplug the hardwire and let the Port connect via WiFi only. Mind you regardless of ethernet or wifi the Ports are getting a 192.168.0.xxx address - so it shouldn’t make a difference unless the Works with Sonos is dependent on some WiFi-Direct or AirPlay style capability. I would ideally like to run my Sonos Ports off their ethernet connection but this dependency prevents that. Feels like a bug in the implementation.
