Alternatively, you can connect your speaker to your network router using the included Ethernet cable. Once connected via Ethernet, the HEOS by Denon App should recognize the speaker and you can manually move it to your wireless network using Settings/My Devices/Device_Name/Advanced/Network Settings.

This is because the HEOS system must buffer the audio before it sends it out to the speakers so that it arrives at all speakers at the same time.
1. Press the WPS button on your router. 2. Within 2 minutes, Press and Hold the Connect button on the rear panel of the HEOS speaker for 5 seconds. 3. The LED on the front of the speaker will flash green for several seconds as it connects to your WPS router.
