Occasional stuttering or breaking of music
streaming during group playback

• If you experience music stuttering or
breaking of streaming, it could be that your
home Wi-Fi network is busy. Even though
Izzylink is independent from your home
Wi-Fi network, it uses Wi-Fi signals to
communicate between the speakers. Try

the following : 1) Reduce trafc on your
home Wi-Fi network, e.g. stop any large le

downloads or other content streaming on
your Wi-Fi network; 2) Reboot the Master
speaker, by unplugging it from the mains
and plugging it in again.
