In addition to the above basic AirPlay requirements please observe the following extended requirements and our recommendations for setting up your AirPlay speaker:
-
Your network router, your Libratone speaker and your audio device (computer or iOS device) must be in close range of each other with strong network signal strength between them.
-
Your network router must support the Wireless B/G standard (802.11b/g 2.4 GHz) and this option must be enabled in the router's configuration. Wireless N (802.11n - 5 GHz) is not supported
-
Your Wireless Network Name (often referred to as SSID) must be visible ("broadcasted") during the setup process, ie. it must not be hidden. Once you've finished setup you may hide the Wireless Network Name again.
-
The use of special characters or any national characters in your Speaker Name, Wireless Network Name or Wireless Network Password is not supported. If you use these characters please replace them with alphanumeric characters only.
-
Avoid using WEP encryption and TKIP security on your router. We recommend WPA2 encryption + AES security.
-
Your iOS device needs to run iOS 4.2 or later and your Mac/PC needs to run iTunes 10.2 or later. However, Libratone generally recommends the use of the latest versions of iOS and iTunes, as Apple is constantly improving AirPlay stability and functionality in newer versions.
-
If you use an iOS device to set up your speaker it is strongly recommended that you close (not just minimize) Safari and all other applications in the taskbar on your iOS device before starting the setup process.
-
It is recommended that your router runs the latest firmware available for it.
