Connecting to a Wi-Fi network - Alternate setup method

Applies to:

You can use this method to set up your SoundTouch system by first joining its own built-in Wi-Fi network, and then connecting to your home Wi-Fi network.

Disconnect any USB cable or Ethernet cable connected to the SoundTouch system

Put the system in alternate setup mode:

On the system button pad, press and hold 2 and Vol- until Wi-Fi indicator glows solid amber

On your computer or mobile device, turn on Wi-Fi and connect to "Bose SoundTouch Wi-Fi Network." (Note: It may take a minute for the network to appear in your device’s network list)

Once connected open your device’s web browser, type http://192.0.2.1 in the address field and choose “Go” or press “Enter” to access the SoundTouch Wi-Fi setup screen

In the setup screen, select your home Wi-Fi network from the network drop-down list and type your network password if required (Note: The password field might not be selectable if no password is required)

Choose "CONNECT" and wait for the system’s Wi-Fi indicator to turn solid white. This might take 60 seconds

Once the indicator is solid white, choose “CONTINUE”

Open your device's Wi-Fi settings and connect to your home Wi-Fi network

Once connected, follow these steps to complete setup:

Install and open the SoundTouch app on your device
Select the Menu icon (≡) in the top left corner
Note: On desktops and tablets, if the Menu icon (≡) is not visible, the slide out menu might already be open
Select "Settings"
Select "Add or Reconnect Speaker"
Select "Speaker Already Connected to Network" and follow the app instructions
