Macsense Connectivity HomePod Manuale Utente

This page enables you to configure basic wireless settings to 
allow your HomePod to connect to an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi wireless 
network. 

 

Network Name (or sometimes referred to as the SSID) is the name of 
the wireless network that HomePod should connect to. The network 
name is defined by the access point. Any wireless computers or devices 
(such as HomePod) that connect to the same network name will form 
one network. You can find out what the network name is by accessing 
the web config page of your access point. 

By default, the Network Name field is set to “ANY” and HomePod will 
automatically detect and connect to the strongest access point in the 
surrounding area. For most users this is the preferred and most 
convenient setting. But if you have multiple access points with different 
network names around you, or if the HomePod somehow is not 
connecting to the access point of your choice, then you will want to 
specify a network name manually. 

A Network Mode is the topology in which a wireless network is set up. 
An Infrastructure network mode, which is the default setting, uses one 
or more access points to form a wireless network. This is in contrast to 
Ad-hoc (also referred to as Peer-to-Peer) network mode, in which two 
wireless devices communicate with one another without the existence of 
an access point. Ad-hoc is useful if you want to connect a HomePod to 
your computer and listen to its shared library directly without an access 
point.
