Occasional breaking of AirPlay music 
streaming.

Enable the Auto Channel Scan option (if available on the Wi-Fi router).
Enable the Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling (WISH) option (if available on the 
Wi-Fi router).
Enable the Quality of Service (QoS) option (if available on the Wi-Fi router).
Move your iW4 speaker closer to your Wi-Fi access point.
Change network security settings to WPA (WPA2) Personal.  WEP is known to cause 
issue with AirPlay streaming and we do not recommend this legacy security format.
Restart your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad or iTunes or iW4 speaker.
Browsing Internet content like news, music, video, etc. via your home Wi-Fi network 
from other Wi-Fi devices may affect the AirPlay performance. In case of AirPlay break 
or disconnection, it is recommended to stop or limit Internet surfing.

Do one or all of the following:

Sometimes there is an authentication error with an iOS device (common to any iOS 
accessory) that causes the device running the iHome Connect app to be unable to 
detect the iW4. The user may correctly connect the iW4 with the USB sync cable, but the 
app will keep showing the message “Please connect your iHome AirPlay compatible 
device with an iPod USB sync cable”.

Problems using the iHome Set app.

I’ve selected the iW4 speaker as my 
AirPlay audio source, but I do not hear 
any music.

Verify that the volume is not muted or set to 0.
Verify that there is not another iTunes library or iOS device connected to the iW4 
speaker. 
Try restarting iTunes or your iOS device.
Try restarting your iW4 by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds to 
turn the unit off.  Wait for 10 seconds, then repeat to turn the unit back on. 
Upgrade the software on your AirPlay compatible device (iTunes, iPad, iPhone, or iPod 
touch).
