How do I get the best Wi-Fi connection?
•
This soundbar supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi
frequencies. It’s generally best to use the same network
name (SSID) on your router so the product will select the
best network automatically. In case you have different
network names for the two different frequencies, try out
which one provides the best performance for you. Keep in
mind that 2.4GHz has better range which in most cases is
more important than the higher speed 5GHz offers
• If you see a lock icon, your Wi-Fi network requires a
password, so make sure you have it available.
• Ensure your Internet is working properly. Restarting your
router and modem will solve most Wi-Fi network issues.
