6. Setting Up LS60 Wireless
6.1 Selecting an Appropriate Router
The speakers must be “onboarded” to your Wi-Fi network (see chapter
“Onboarding”) for the best sound quality, wireless streaming and comprehensive
control.
Technical Requirements of your Router
• Network standard: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, IPv4, IPv6,
• Frequency band: Dual-band 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz
• A 5 GHz Wi-Fi network is recommended for stable streaming, especially for
hi-resolution music.
• Connecting to a guest, office or public network: Office, hotel, guest and
public networks often feature additional security or authentication methods
which may prevent the speakers from connecting. You may need the help of
the network administrator to configure the network to allow full functionality
if using these kinds of networks.
