Connecting to a Wi-Fi network | SoundTouch® 10 wireless speaker

How would you like to connect your network?

Using the normal connection method

By updating network info (i.e. after changing a router, network name or password)

In the SoundTouch app menu, tap "Settings"
Tip: to open the app menu, tap the menu icon â˜° in the upper-left
Tap "Speaker Settings"
Tap the system to connect
Note: A new Wi-Fi network cannot be added to a system that shows NOT CONNECTED system. For these systems, use the alternate network connection method. For more info, see Connecting to a Wi-Fi network
Tap "CONNECT TO A WI-FI NETWORK"
Tap "Wi-Fi" and wait while the app searches for networks
On the device running the app, connect to the "Bose SoundTouch network"
1. For Android devices, the device should connect automatically. If is does not, go to the device Wi-Fi settings and select the Bose network
2. For iOS devices, the app instructs you to go to the device Wi-Fi settings and select the Bose network
3. If the Bose network is not available on the device, select "I DO NOT SEE THIS NETWORK" for help putting your system in setup mode, then go to the device Wi-Fi settings and connect to the Bose network
Tap on the "Select Network" field to select a network to connect. (If you don't see your network, select "Refresh" and try again)
Enter the network password
Tap "CONNECT" and wait while the system connects
Enter a name for your system (or use the default name), then tap "CONTINUE"
If you need to change the network on another system, select "YES" when prompted, then select the other system and repeat these steps. If not, select "NO" to finish
