You shouldn’t need to connect the network cable to your router as long as you have WiFi reception in the room where your TV is. The Sonos Beam will connect to your network via WiFi. Use the Sonos App to set up the connection. Connect the HDMI cable from the Sonos Beam to your TV’s HDMI (ARC) port. Make sure it’s the ARC port to ensure all features are enabled.. Once it’s setup properly the Sonos Beam will output the TV audio in lieu of the TV’s built in speakers.

The SONOS Beam is connected to the TV using an HDMI cable to the Audio Return Channel (ARC) port and to the electrical outlet. Those are the only two wired connections needed. The connection to router can be wireless. I'm not sure if the Beam will work without a connection of some sort (wired or wireless) to the router.
