Compatible Android phones & tablets 

Important: Initial release of the Nexus Q app  

runs only on the preview release of Android 4.1  

(Jelly Bean) available to Google I/O attendees.

Requirements described below are for first 

consumer release. 

To operate your Nexus Q, you can use any  

Android phone or tablet that supports Android 2.3 

(Gingerbread) or higher and OpenGL ES 2.0.  

Here are a few examples:

•  Galaxy Nexus phone or Nexus 7 tablet  

 

  running Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)    

  or higher.

•  Xoom or Galaxy tablet running Honeycomb    

  (Android 3.2) or higher.

•  Nexus S phone running Gingerbread   

 

  (Android 2.3) or higher.

You also need to download and install the latest 

Nexus Q app. If your phone or tablet supports 

Android Beam, just hold it near the top of your 

Nexus Q after it arrives. After a moment, Google 

Play opens to the page where you can download 

the app. (It's free.) 

Or go to 

Google Play

 and search for "Nexus Q."

Menu icons: 

This guide sometimes refers to the 

menu available on an Android screen. Because 

Nexus Q supports so many Android devices, the 

location and appearance of the menu icon varies. 

Here are a couple of examples:

•  On a Galaxy Nexus phone, it may be located    

  at the top or the bottom of the screen, and    

  looks like this:

•  On a Nexus S phone, it's one of the    

 

  permanent navigation buttons built into  

 

  bottom of the phone, and looks like this:        .

Whenever you need to choose something from    

this menu, this guide uses text like this:  

Menu > Q settings.

Compatible routers

Most modern routers for home Wi-Fi networks 

should work with Nexus Q, as long as they 

produce a strong signal at the locations where 

you plan to use each device.

However, some routers and networks can be 

configured in a way that prevents Nexus Q from 

operating correctly. Here are some examples:

•  Routers configured for some form of guest    

  mode (to prevent guests from reaching  

 

  sensitive parts of the network) won't work with  

  Nexus Q.

•  Routers configured for isolation mode (to  

 

  prevent Ethernet and Wi-Fi controlled by the    

  same router from communicating) won't work  

  correctly if you're using Ethernet with any of    

  your Nexus Qs.  

•  If you're trying to setup more than one Nexus Q  

  in your home, your router must support  

 

  Multicast. Most routers support this feature    

  automatically, but you may need to turn it on   

  with your router's configuration utility.

Compatibility 

If you've already set up a Nexus Q but it shows    

up in the Nexus Q app as "Not available," touch   

its name and follow the on-screen instructions    

to troubleshoot.

For more information, see 

Troubleshooting Routers. 

Nexus Q MAC addresses: 

If your router is locked 

to specific MAC addresses, you'll need to add the 

Nexus Q's MAC address to the ist. During setup 

from your phone or tablet, you'll see a message if 

Nexus Q can't connect with Wi-Fi. The message 

includes that Nexus Q's MAC address, which you 

can then add to your router.
