WiFi music sources dropping / firmware not updating router fix.
If your speaker is unable to update to the latest firmware, or music sources stop intermittently, the cause may be a router setting, weak Wi-Fi signal, or a temporary network cache issue.
Before contacting support, please check:
- The speaker is powered on and connected to the network.
- Your internet connection is working on other devices.
- The speaker has a strong Wi-Fi signal in its installed location.
- The router has been restarted.
- The speaker has been turned off for 30 seconds and then turned back on.
- The app is up to date on your phone or tablet.
- The issue happens with more than one music source, if possible to test.
Router settings to check:
- Some routers have media, security, or traffic-management settings that can affect speaker updates or streaming.
- If you are comfortable accessing your router settings, check whether WMM or uPnP security options are affecting the speaker connection.
- Router menus vary by manufacturer, so only change settings you understand or ask your internet provider/router supplier for help.
After changing router settings, apply the changes, restart the router, and power-cycle the speaker. This can clear cached network information and may resolve update or intermittent playback problems.
If you still need help, please send support:
- The speaker model.
- The app version, if known.
- Your router make/model, if known.
- Whether the issue is firmware update failure, music dropping, or both.
- Any error message shown in the app.
