So, the RBR is to a switch and from there to the satellite. On that first satellite I conencted my SONOS system and that succesfullly created it's own SONOS NET.

RBS need to be connected directly to the RBR or via a non managed non green ethernet Gb LAN switch.
RBS can't be connected to any other device.
