Troubleshooting
Quick tips for common problems:
I am unable to connect the iW4 to my home Wi-Fi network:
- The iW4 does not support WEP or WPA/WPA2 Enterprise security types. We recommend Open, WPA Personal (-PSK), WPA2 Personal
(-PSK). Once you change the security type on your router, we suggest rebooting your Wi-Fi router and your iW4 speaker.
- Make sure router rmware is up to date.
- Make sure that your wireless network is not on a conicting channel with one of your neighbors. You can use software like
iStumbler on Mac or Netstumbler on Windows to verify that adjacent networks, sorted by SNR, aren't on the same channel.
Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the three non-overlapping 802.11g channels.
- If you cannot see your network on the list of available networks, ensure that your network is not hidden. If so unhide and reboot the
router.
I cannot nd the MAC address of my iW4 speaker:
- Use the iHome Set app with a docked iPad/iPhone/iPod touch and select ‘Show Details’under the NETWORK tab.
Note: you can also discover the MAC address using the manual network setup method - see page 14.
I’ve successfully connected the iW4 to my home network, but I cannot select the iW4 speaker from iTunes or my iOS Device:
Note: The iW4 speaker must be on the same Wi-Fi network as your AirPlay source
iTunes Solutions:
- Make sure that you have the latest version if iTunes.
- Try restarting iTunes.
- In order for the iW4 to be able to access track controls in iTunes you need to allow it in iTunes:
• In iTunes, go to Preferences.
• In the Devices tab, check "Allow iTunes audio control from remote speaker"
iOS device solutions:
- Make sure the iOS device has the latest software.
- If you’re unable to see the Airplay icon on the iOS device, restart your iOS device;
- Verify that your device is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network.
I’ve selected the iW4 speaker as my AirPlay audio source, but I do not hear any music:
- Verify that the volume is not muted or set to 0.
- Verify that there is not another iTunes library or iOS device connected to the iW4 speaker.
- Try restarting iTunes or your iOS device.
- Reset the iW4 speaker and reboot your Wi-Fi router.
Docking issue: Error message“this device is not supported”:
- Please restart your iW4 speaker as well as your iOS device and then try again.
I cannot access http://192.168.1.12 web page:

Problems Possible Solutions
I am unable to connect the iW4 to my
home Wi-Fi network.
Verify that your Wi-Fi network is functioning and Wi-Fi certied. This device is only
compatible with Wi-Fi certied routers.
Move the iW4 closer to your network access point; the Wi-Fi signal is weak or there are
overlapping Wi-Fi signals or the iW4 is out of range of your Wi-Fi network.
Enable SSID broadcast (un-hide network) on the Wi-Fi router. Once you have success-
fully connected the iW4 speaker to your Wi-Fi network, you can then re-hide the
network.
Use a WPA or WPA2 Personal key for security. We do not recommend the use of any
WEP key for security and WPA/WPA2 enterprise is not compatible with AirPlay.
Keep away from potential sources of interference which may aect Wi-Fi signal, such
as microwave ovens.
Make sure that the SSID name of your home router consists of normal characters or
digits, with no space or special characters like %/#/* inserted.
If you choose to rename the AirPlay device ‘iHome iW4 XXXXXX’in the settings menu,
do not use special characters or symbols.
Reset the iW4 Hardware and repeat network setup:
- Unplug the AC power jack from the iW4 and wait 30 seconds.
- Reconnect AC power jack and allow the iW4 to power on to standby mode.
- Repeat iW4 Wi-Fi Network Setup process if necessary.
If the problem remains, it is strongly recommended to use our free iHome Set app for
your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad to do the rst time Wi-Fi setup as some PC settings may
aect the Wi-Fi network setup.

detect the iW4. The user may correctly connect the iW4 with the USB sync cable, but the
app will keep showing the message“Please connect your iHome AirPlay compatible
device with an iPod USB sync cable”.
Problems using the iHome Set app.
I’ve selected the iW4 speaker as my
AirPlay audio source, but I do not hear
