Setting Up CONNECTED Mode – Any Device
Before you can use CONNECTED Mode, you need to connect the AQ SmartSpeaker
to your wireless network. Use the
methods on this page if you want to use an Android Phone, Desktop Computer (Mac or Windows), or other network capable
device.
NOTE: Whilst you can complete this option from an iOS Device, we would recommend using one of the iOS Device-Specific
options to make it easier to set up your AQ SmartSpeaker.
. .
. There is no difference in the end result, once the speaker is
connected to the network, it can be seen by any compatible device.
If you are using a computer, check that it has wireless capability, and can connect to your network wirelessly. If the computer
has any wired connection to a network, you will need to temporarily disconnect this whilst you set up the speaker.
Setup Option 3 – Manual Wireless Setup (Any Device)
1. Turn on the AQ SmartSpeaker
by briefly pressing the power button. Wait until the Wi-Fi LED changes to slow flashing red
or steady green. (The LED will only go green if the speaker already has settings for a network, and that network is in
range.) Press and hold both the Volume Up and the Volume Down buttons on the Speaker simultaneously for 5 seconds
until the Wi-Fi LED turns Orange, then release. The AQ SmartSpeaker
will then restart. The Wi-Fi LED will flash red
again. After a minute or two the Wi-Fi LED will start flashing red and green alternately. The AQ SmartSpeaker
is now in
Configuration mode.
2. The AQ SmartSpeaker
will have created a new temporary wireless network, which you can find by searching for wireless
networks from your Android phone or Computer, how you do this will depend on your device and operating system. Select
“AQ Smart Speaker Setup XXXXXX” to connect.
3. Wait until the network is connected (it may show “no internet access”, this is normal), then open a Web Browser such as
Firefox, Chrome, or Safari. Type the IP address 192.168.1.12 in the address bar (not the search bar) and press return.
The AQ SmartSpeaker
information page should now load.
4. Click on Speaker Setup on the left to go to the Network Setup page. From the Speaker Setup page you can change the
name of your AQ SmartSpeaker
. You may find this useful if you have more than one Speaker. Press the Apply button
next to the name to confirm.
NOTE: if you do change the name of the speaker, you will need to go back to the setup page by clicking on Speaker Setup.
5. Choose the wireless network that you want to connect the Speaker to. This can be found in the drop down menu titled
“Wireless Network (SSID)” Enter the password. (There may be a password already in the box – you will need to delete this
first before entering yours) Be careful because if you get it wrong, you will need to start back at step 1. Click on Apply at
the bottom then click OK to confirm the settings.
6. A Dialog Box will appear explaining the next step. If you are sure the network settings are correct, Click OK to confirm this,
the Speaker will then begin updating the settings. Depending on your browser, you may also be asked if you want the
password to be stored by the browser – If you click yes, your browser will remember the wireless key you entered and
automatically fill in this box the next time you go to the setup page.
7. The AQ SmartSpeaker
will automatically disconnect and start to update its settings. Once the Speaker has disconnected,
the webpage will stop responding, so you can close the web browser and reconnect the computer to your normal wireless
network.
8. The Wi-Fi LED will continue to flash red and green alternately until the settings have been updated; it will then flash red
quickly for a while and then change to red slow flashing. Once the Wi-Fi Led turns to green, the AQ SmartSpeaker
is
connected to your network. If it does not go to steady green after a minute, press the reset button on the back. The
Speaker will restart and should connect, if it still does not connect, check that your configuration was correct.
