Answer 1

The steps to configure the speaker are

a) Enter the password to the home Wi-Fi network.
To configure the speaker with your smartphone, you need a connection and interface between your phone and the speaker. the interface will be a Smartphone application which will be available in the internet. so to download the app, you need to connect your phone to home wi-fi network by entering its password

b) Download the speaker's app to a smartphone.
Download the speaker's smartphone app from internet, the speaker manufacturer will be providing this through their website or other websites. The application will be having options like changing the volume, changing the tracks etc..; so it works like a remote so that you can control the speaker with your smartphone using this app. now you need to open this app and connect your speaker through it

c) Connect the smartphone to the speaker's Wi-Fi hotspot.
When the speaker is switched on, it creates a wi fi access point for devices to connect. Now from the app options, search for the wifi networks on your smartphone and you'll see the wi fi hotspot of the speaker in the available wi fi list. connect to this network, so that automatically you will be disconnected from the home wi fi network. since the app is downloaded we don't need the internet anymore.

d) Enter the password to the speaker's Wi-Fi hotspot.
While your smartphone tries to connect to the speaker's hotspot, a password will be asked to enter; this password can be found in the user manual of the speaker. The password makes sure that only whoever knows this password can connect to the phone; otherwise in a open wi fi hotspot anyone can connect and play anything in your speaker. so enter the password which provided by the manufacturer so your smartphone will get connected to the speaker's wi fi network. so that now you are able to open the speaker app in the phone and you can control your speaker using your smartphone.


Earlier times, wireless speakers were build using bluetooth technology, but it was having so many disadvantages like, less connectivity distance, less speed etc.. Wi-Fi enabled speakers are more faster and they are having more connectivity distance and many devices can connect to the speaker at same time.
