Setting the Fusion PartyBus Device as the DHCP Server
If you connected more than two network devices together using a network switch or wireless access point but you did not install a router, you should configure only one Fusion PartyBus™ stereo to be a DHCP server.
Having more than one DHCP server on the network causes instability and poor performance for all devices on the network.
NOTE:
If you have set up this stereo as a
WI-FI ACCESS POINT, it is configured as a DHCP server by default, and no further settings changes are needed (Setting the
Fusion PartyBus Device as a Wireless Access Point).
NOTE:
Although the
Fusion PartyBus devices can communicate with each other without a DHCP server on the network, the devices take longer to connect to each other when you first turn them on. It is highly recommended to have one properly-configured DHCP server on the network for the best results.

If the device is connected to the network using an Ethernet cable, select
> SETTINGS > NETWORK > WI-FI OFF.
You must turn off Wi‑Fi® before you can set the stereo as a wired DHCP server.
