My current system consists of a playbar grouped with 2 play 1s for the TV room, 3 other play 1s in other rooms, a connect Amp, and a gen 1 play 5 and also a Sonos bridge. I am having a whole home wireless network installed. Basically 2-4 access points on PoE back to the router. Do I upgrade the bridge to a boost or just use the new whole home wifi? Thanks

The Bridge is the only SonosNet 1.0 device you have so I'd consider replacing it.
A Boost is always a good option but wiriing an existing speaker to your Ethernet is almost as good. If no existing speaker can be wired adding a Play 1 for a bit more than a boost isn't much weaker on the networking side and it gives you another speaker.
I'm not a big fan of Standard Mode over Boost Mode but you could try that as the cheapest option if you don't have a speaker you can wire to Ethernet now.

Thanks for the information. I am thinking I will just invest in a Boost. I have a lot of the equipment racked up in a closet, so really no need to put a speaker in the closet.
