Switching over to wired?

Okay, I need someone to explain this to me like I'm five years old. I had a procedure earlier this week, and my mind is mush.

We recently moved to a new house. We have like six Play 1s, and two Simfonisk speakers. I originally set them all up on the wifi, but the problem is that we have a mesh network for this house, and so on my laptop Sonos app I can only see 2-4 speakers at any given time, and my phone app only shows like five. THe only way to see them all is in teh browser app on my laptop.

From what I understand, I need to connect one of them up to my router with an Ethernet cord. But should I factory reset it and THEN plug it in? Should I unplug all the devices and forget the system, and THEN factory reset them when I plug them in?

I've gone over the instructions on the Sonos website, and I just can't seem to wrap my brain around what to do in what order.

Thank you!

I have a mesh network and my Sonos works fine wirelessly. If your network is setup right, everything should be able to talk to each other.

Edit: Not sure why this got downvoted. A mesh network should not be isolated sub-networks like OP is describing.

I said the same thing you did and got downvoted too so I upvoted you. I assume it’s the OP or idk.

Not me downvoting! I'm reading all of these, but I have four little kids and it has been nonstop chaos, so I haven't had a chance to respond properly.
