When you are planning your network, observe the following considerations for all wireless connections.

• Wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections. You should plan your network to use network cables, but if it is not possible, many Fusion PartyBus™ devices are Wi‑Fi^® compatible. You can connect them to wireless routers or access points.

• If you install a wireless router on the network, it should be configured to be the DHCP server by default. See your wireless router instructions for more information.

• If you are not using a wireless router, you can configure this device as a wireless access point, so you can connect other devices within wireless range.

  NOTE: You should not configure this device as a wireless access point if you have a router installed on the network, because it may introduce DHCP conflicts and result in poor network performance.

• If you connect a Fusion PartyBus device to the network as a WI-FI CLIENT, you cannot connect any additional wired Fusion PartyBus devices to that device.

• You can connect a smartphone to the wireless network to control any stereo on the network using the Fusion^® Audio app.

• You can connect an Apple^® device to the wireless network to stream media to multiple stereos on the network using Apple AirPlay^® 2.

• Connecting a Bluetooth^® device to the stereo may interfere with some Wi‑Fi connections.

• Wi‑Fi signals may interfere with Bluetooth device connections. You should turn off the Wi‑Fi setting on your stereo if you are not using it to connect to a wireless network or to provide a wireless access point.
