For The Best Music Streaming Experience
To ensure your system is operating under the best environment possible, here
are a few additional tips:
• For the fastest streaming performance, especially when connecting
to multiple speakers simultaneously, an 802.11N router or better is
recommended.
• Ensure the Play-Fi device is within wireless reach of your router,
or that the signal is not blocked by concrete, brick, or other walls. The
quality of your connection can be observed in the Definitive App by
the Wireless Strength icon.
