I can confirm rock solid WISA connections. Use TV instead of Transmitter, also wisa beolabs 😁and boelabs with beoreceiver one. Only 5ghz wifi gave a bid of a problem. Turned it off and no more issues. I live in city and have 20+ other wifi networks around mine. Be aware, this has nothing to do with the okder wifi based masterlink wireless transmitters/receivers. They were bad as hell and practical unusable..I'm using it since more than 5y. Apart from conflicts with other 5 gHz transmitters that I removed from my setup, I must say that it is rock solid, even when not physically placed according to recommendations, e.g mine is too close to some of my speakers so it happens that the TR 1 orange light flashes, without any perceptible effects, or that speakers disconnect shortly (it happens once a year maybe ....). BS Moment, BS Core, BG 4002, BC 4500, BS1, BL18, BL19, BL8000 + RCV1, A6, M5, M3, A1, P6 (tks Botty), H5, TR1

On top of wired and PLC, I also have WiFi in my condo, unbelievable isn’t it? My many neighbors do like WiFi too, 5 GHz included.Moreover, a good 2.4 GHz WiFi setup with a small number of hotspots, well located and leveraging MIMO do provide a very good service, trust me.I would certainly not conclude that the TR1 is crap because of possible interferences with WiFi 5 GHz, but I would generally question the WISA cohabitation with other wireless networks using the same band. In my case I gave the priority to WISA and turned off the WiFi 5 GHz in the listening room while keeping WiFi 2.4 GHz on. A perfect world!But like you said. If you don't have wifi and live isolated... this is fantastic product.

By way of an update here:
Sold the 18s and bought another pair of 17s. Entirely subjective of course, but the frumpy looking 17s are a superior experience with your eyes shut 😁
I now also have a new BeoSound Core! And the old Sony TV still
BUT I'm still stuck on how best to implement cinema sound wirelessly, as per the original post. I know the BeoLab Transmitter 1 is scalable up to 7.1 surround but I'm not sure if my intended setup:
Apple TV > Airplay > Core > Transmitter > Wisa > BL17s
is going to somehow lose the surround encapsulation on route. I don't have a Transmitter to tinker with, so I can't hook it up in the B&O app in advance to see if works.
I should confess I don't know how any of this should work right now, so am merely clutching at straws. Having bought the Core as a music source I don't want to go spending similar money on something wireless I might not actually need!
Suggestions and enlightenment always welcome
