Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Setup If you have problems connecting to the SoundBridge to your music library, please check the following: 1. Is the SoundBridge is powered on (is the screen lit)? 2.

Is your computer on and is your Wi-Fi access point plugged in? 4. Is your music server software running on your computer? Are your music sharing options enabled? (See "Enabling Music Sharing" on page 7.) 5. If you have a password, did you enter it correctly, including case sensitive characters? 6.

You want the WEP key itself, and not that other password. Below are detailed instructions for where to find your SSID and WEP key for several common wires access points.
