Bose Soundlink air (Wifi / Airplay Issues)

Hi
I got a bose Soundlink Air (Wi-Fi) for xmas, but I am having connection problems.
My setup is:
- Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
- Sky Broadband
- Netgear Router DG834GT flashed to firmware v 1.03.22, encryption WPA2-PSK
- iTunes 10.7
- Eset Smart Security 5
I have run the bose setup process and the speaker successfully connects to the network (bright blue indicator). I can see it connected on the router config.
But when I try to connect through Itunes (I can see it), it just hangs on the connection, sometimes giving 15000 error unknown.
I am thinking router config, but am not good enough to resolve myself. Both Sky and Bose helpdesks unhelpful.
Tried speaker on similar setup, but O2 BB / Norton 360 and worked fine
Any ideas?
James

I moved to a pc and setup and have been streaming - I havent lost connecting, but it is HARD WIRED. It seems to be a problem with every device that is connected to my network thru wireles, and then wirelessly streaming. When I stream to the BOSE from a PC or LAPTOP that is hardwired into the net, we're fine. So far!

Bose SoundLink Air and Airplay - Connectivity!

Hi all,
I'm having a long-running battle with Airplay that I really hope someone can offer some help with.
I've had a Bose SoundLink Air speaker for a couple of years now which has always worked fine, except for the last maybe 3 or 4 months.
When trying to play music through the speaker using either my iPhone 5s or iPad (3rd generation), playback will last maybe a minute or two maximum before the connection with Airplay is lost and therefore playback stops. The Airplay symbol will disappear from my phone/iPad for only a second or two and then reappear, at which point I can reconnect and start playing the music again; but the cycle repeats...
Both the iPhone and iPad are using the most recent versions of iOS and, as mentioned above, have worked fine with the Bose speaker in the past. Ironically, I have a PC and laptop, both running Windows 7, that stream music to the speaker flawlessly via iTunes; no drop-outs whatsoever - it only seems to be the Apple products that are struggling! The fact that the PC and laptop play with no issues satisfies me that there are no issues with WiFi connectivity (also, I don't experience any other issues with the network).
If anyone has come across this issue before and is aware of a fix, I'd be really grateful for some advice as I'm now at a loss. For reference, I've made no changes to my network/set up etc. recently.
Thanks!

Ios 7.0.6 Problems with Bose SoundLink Air with Airplay

Hello,
We recently updated all of our ios devices to ios 7.0.6. We have found that when using our Airplay Bose speaker, eveything will work great for a minute or so just to suddenly drop. However, it works just find with my Macbook Pro. I have slowed wireless signal (2.4 GHz N wireless) and still have the same problem. Has anyone else had this problem and did you solve it?

MacBook Air WiFi Connectivity Issue

I bought a MacBook Air 13" yesterday and I've noticed that my WiFi keeps dropping out. The WiFi icon in the menubar says it's connected and network in sys prefs says so too. But no pages will load and I can't ping anything. I have to turn WiFi off and back on for it to work. I've noticed it also does this with my iMac (mid 2011). On my old 2011 MacBook Pro 13" I never had this issue.
Does anyone have any solutions or should I just take it to Apple?

Not an issue with my router. Works fine on all my other devices, and I had the same issue earlier today at a different location using a different network.

Bose soundlink air speakers and iOS 7

I have just bought Bose sound link Air speakers, which seem to link fine with an old iPhone and iPad not yet updated to iOS 7 but not with my newer iPhone 5s or my iPad Air, both on iOS7. I can't find anything in settings to turn on or off. Any advice?

1. Turn off router, speaker and iPad
2. Turn on router and wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on Bose speaker and wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on iPad and test speakers
Note: You need to swipe up from bottom of screen to activate Control Center; the AirPlay icon should be in there.

I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac. I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works. It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help

I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac. I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works. It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help

make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
automaticly
then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

IOS X 10.10.2 Bluetooth Bose Soundlink recognition issue

Hi All
My Macbook cannot 'see' my Bose Soundlink when I try to pair it. It recognises my newer Bose SLIII just fine and I can connect to that. My iPad and iPhone all connect to the older Soundlink so why not the Mac?
Also, when I go in to Bluetooth preferences there is no "Add new device" button or functionality as described in many of the posts all I get is this below... is this right?
I running iOS 10.10.2 on my Macbook Air.
Many thanks

Might be corrupted Bluetooth preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then re, "pair" your Bluetooth devices.

Bluetooth Issues: Bose SoundLink

Ever since the upgrade to iOS 4 I have been unable to connect my iPhone to my relatively new Bose SoundLink wireless music system. This is months without use of a very expensive piece of hardware that simply connects through bluetooth. I would expect Apple to advance technology not take it away and yet with subsequent upgrades of the iOS over the original 4.0 it still is not working. Yet my iPad has no problem what-so-ever connecting.

I'm having similar issues as well. I just received my Bose SoundLink and was able to immediately connect my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2.1) with the SoundLink. However, I was unable to ever get my iMac to sync with it using the USB stick even if I disabled the Bluetooth on my iPhone. When I "Forgot" the Bose device on my iPhone to see if I could get the iMac to sync (having the iMac being the only device that would have any sort of connection with the Bose) the iMac still didn't sync. Now my iPhone won't sync back either, the Bose system isn't even listed in the devices found. I've tried my iPad running the same OS version and it can't see it either. Calling Bose tomorrow!

Apple TV and Bose soundlink mini

Hi,
I have an Apple TV (3) and a Bose Soundlink mini.
My question is if it is possible to get the picture from iTunes to the TV (while streaming a movie) but the sound to the soundlink?
Thankful for answers.

The soundlink mini is a bluetooth speaker. Apple TV requires an airplay capable speaker, like the Soundlink Air.
Also, you can't airplay audio and video separately.

WiFI N issue on iphone 4

hello
Lost of persons have constated a Wifi connection issue with iDevice on WiFi N mode. This problem involve connection lost or data connection lost event if the iphone already have an ip adress. I've tried in my wifi router different channels, 40 mhz bandiwth mode, 20 bandwith mhz mode. Iphone wifi connection work sometimes but it's a weak connection (good signal, ip adress still connected but no data transit between). So i have to switch the iphone to air mode and back to normal to retrieve a wifi connection working for 10min.
I can't send music via airplay to my airport express too. Air port detected, but send no music on it. Disable WiFi N mode to G mode work perfectly with airplay on AE. Wifi data working a well without any issues. The problem seems last iphone/ipad ios, because lots of poeples have these problem in many different brand wifi router. Some guys said there was no problem on previous iOs version (4.3?).
Hope this bug will be fixed in iOS5 to improve WiFi 802.11 N mode.

HHi I had the same issue my husband went back to using his iPhone 4, I have the iPhone 5 and a iPad and mini. I couldn't set the wifi on his iPhon,
This is what I did and what my be the issue everyone is having. The iPhone 4 works with a 2.4 ghz radio frequency all the new products work with a 5 ghz. If you change the frequency in your router the IPhone 4 will pick up your wifi. the only problem is that once you change it all your other pproducts will not pick up the wifi connection. I'm going to continue to change the frequency until they all work, will keep you up dated.

Mid-2012 MacBook Air WiFi Reconnect-Partial Solution

The MacBook Air seems to have some significant WiFi issues for a lot of users. My issue is as follows: the MacBook will connect to any compatible WiFi hot-spot with no problems, and it will maintain the connection almost always. The problems come when I try to reconnect to the internet over the same WiFi hot-spot after waking up the MacBook. Even more frustratingly, the problem is not consistent. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. After some investigation, I have come to the conclusion that reconnection problems happen when:
You wake the computer up from computer sleep (not display sleep or Power Nap)
You are using a specific cable modem (the one I tested on was a Motorola SURFboard SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0)
You have not restarted your cable modem while your MacBook was asleep
The MacBook Air will connect to the WiFi network (i.e., it can access other devices in the wireless LAN) when woken from computer sleep; it just will not connect to the internet
The only way to get the connection back is to restart the cable modem. Restarting the MacBook, restarting your WiFi base station (in my case a brand new AirPort Time Capsule tower), having the MacBook forget the WiFi network and then reconnect--all do not work. But if I just restart the cable modem, the MacBook connects with no problems. This is a problem specific to the MacBook Air because none of my other devices ever have a problem connecting to the network after waking up from sleep (including a Lenovo ThinkPad E530c). As has been proposed in some of the many discussions about MacBook Air WiFi issues, I think it has to do with the bleeding-edge power saving modes that the MacBook Air enters in to when it goes to sleep. Apparently, the computer sleep mode will cause it to not be able to reconnect to the internet, so it seems to be some sort of incompatibility or bug between the MacBook Air and the cable modem--in my case, the Motorola SURFboard.
So that's the problem, but I do have a partial solution while the engineers figure out a fix. Set the System Prefs > Energy Saver setting on the MacBook to never go into computer sleep (I set it only for Power Adapter, not Battery). In my case, this is a workable solution because I have my MacBook Air plugged in at home almost all the time. I have lived with these settings for a couple of days now and whenever I wake up my computer, it still has the internet connection and works as expected. And if for some reason I don't plug it in and it goes into computer sleep, I don't waste time troubleshooting. I just restart the cable modem and after a minute or so, the internet connection is re-established. I'd be curious to know how many cable modems this happens with, and if anyone has a fix having to do with cable modem settings (the Motorola SURFboard, to my knowledge, doesn't have a web app interface to tweak settings, perhaps because my cable company doesn't want me tweaking things, but I frankly have not spent any time researching that end of things).
Hopefully this will help some MacBook Air owners (is this an issue with MacBook Pros?) that have this problem.
Good luck!

Have the same problem. Was OK for nearly two years then started two days ago.
