Bang & Olufsen App - Beta version 5.x.x.

Good afternoon!

I am interested in how the Application implements a connection to a new WI-FI network in order to save my settings. I did not find the section "Setting up a wi-fi network" by analogy with a smartphone, when there is a list of found networks, enter the password and connect.

I mean, when, for example, Beosaund Emerge is already connected to a WI-FI network, and there is a need to change the router, then how to reconnect to a new network to save the settings? If you press the < > keys, then according to the instructions, this may lead to a factory reset, and this would not be desirable.

I have version 5.4.0.231011-36631, but the new changes have already come into effect, which are being discussed in the beta version.
The instruction to hold down < and > keys is what you need to do. You enter network setup mode by holding them down for 2 seconds – you will hear a tone confirming this and the product indicator (play/pause LED) will start flashing orange. If you take care of the timing, there's no risk of accidental factory reset – you will have to hold the buttons down for 8 seconds for this to happen.

If you are completely changing your router, as in, you're taking down the old network and the products can't connect to it anymore, they will also automatically go into network setup after being power cycled.

Looks like app version 5.5 released.

I'm not at home right now, but has anyone tried it yet to see if it fixed the missing sources issue?

I updated, and can't see a single meaningful or noticeable difference to the previous version to be honest.

 
The link items are long boxes rather than square.

There is accommodation for the BL8 - which is not at least a month late

What more do you need in B&O life? Rectangle buttons and another late product? (probably found a single bug before the home beta tester got to play with it?)
I agree,

Still awful and uncomplete in terms of sources.

The new ecosystem relies on the app and this app becomes unusable.

I don't understand where the development team want us to do. Bin our pre-Mozart investments?

Uncompetence or planned obsolescence?

Kind regards,

Yann.
