Network Troubleshooting
If you cannot see or connect to Fusion PartyBus devices on the network, perform these steps.
• Verify that all Fusion PartyBus devices, network switches, routers, and wireless access points are connected
to the network and turned on.
• Verify that wireless Fusion PartyBus devices are connected to a wireless router or wireless access point on
the network.
NOTE: Wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections. If possible, you should connect
devices to the network using an Ethernet cable.
• Verify that only one device, either a stereo or a router, is configured as a DHCP server.
• Change the channel on your router or wireless access point to test for and correct interference.
You may experience wireless interference if there are many nearby wireless access points.
• Disconnect Bluetooth devices to test for and correct interference.
Connecting a Bluetooth device to a stereo configured as a wireless access point or client may reduce
wireless performance.
• If you are experiencing trouble connecting, make sure your router supports 2.4 GHz band connections.
When connecting to a wireless router, this device is compatible with only 2.4 GHz band connections, and
cannot connect to a 5 GHz band.
• If you configured static IP addresses, verify that every device has a unique IP address, that the first three sets
of numbers in the IP addresses match, and that the subnet masks on every device are identical.
• If you have made configuration changes that might be causing networking issues, reset all network settings
to the factory default values.
