The Bose 700 Soundbar is a fantastic addition to any home theater setup, but what happens when you need to connect it to a different Wi-Fi SSID (Service Set Identifier)? Fear not! These easy to follow steps on how to connect your Bose 700 Soundbar to a different WiFi SSID, will ensure that you never miss a beat when it comes to your entertainment.
Understanding the Basics
Before we dive into the step-by-step process, let’s get acquainted with the basics. The Wi-Fi SSID is essentially the name of your Wi-Fi network. It’s what you select when you’re searching for available networks on your devices. Connecting your Bose 700 Soundbar to a different SSID means linking it to a new Wi-Fi network, which could be in a different location or simply a different network within your home.
Preparing Your Bose 700 Soundbar
- Gather Your Essentials: To begin, ensure you have the essentials at hand. You’ll need your Bose 700 Soundbar, the Bose remote control, and a smartphone or tablet with the Bose Music app installed. Make sure the device with the app is connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to switch your soundbar to.
- Power On Your Soundbar: Turn on your Bose 700 Soundbar and ensure it’s in standby mode. You’ll know it’s ready when the light bar on the front of the soundbar turns solid white.
