WPS
Most wireless routers and access points have a WPS button. Press this button and then the WPS button on your
Multiroom device for the Multiroom device to establish a connection with your wireless network. Make sure that the
device you wish to use to control you Multiroom products (e.g. smartphone or tablet) is also connected to the same
wireless network (i.e. router or access point).
Dynamic/static IP addresses
By default, your Multiroom device expects to be automatically assigned an IP address by your wireless router or
access point when it connects to it (DHCP function activated). However, if you use static IP addresses for your network
devices, this will not work. In this case, you need to manually assign your Multiroom device an available IP address.
Wireless range
Wireless routers normally work in the 2.4 GHz range, but this is also used by other RF devices (not only wireless
networks). This can reduce speeds and ranges as the numerous wireless signals interfere with each other. It is even
possible that there is no reception any more just two rooms away. The best solution is to use multiple aerials or
routers/access points which support the standard 802.11n in order to combine the channels available. If necessary,
install a repeater to extend the WiFi network range.
Combined wireless with 2.4 and 5 GHz
Older wireless devices are not able to work in the 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges at the same time. This applies not only to
routers and access points, but also to PCs, laptops and other devices you may wish to use to control your Multiroom
system. If you cannot find or control your Multiroom products or the connection is too slow, check that they really
support both frequency ranges.
Router overnight standby function
If your router has an overnight standby function, it is possible that the speakers will switch on automatically (but not
automatically play music) when you switch the router back on again. In this case, the speakers obviously consume
electricity. If necessary, deactivate the overnight standby function.
Allow network discovery
Make sure that the wireless router or access point allows devices in the wireless network to be visible to one another
and exchange data with one another. Otherwise, the speakers are no longer visible after they have been set up.
