If you'd have done the hard reset of your phone as I originally suggested, you wouldn't have had to go the Ethernet route more than likely. That should have fixed it. I've told B&O previously that this is a fix for some non-connecting faults for products, including the Essence but they will not or have not so far included it on their FAQ page as a potentially easy solution. Not very supportive really and they say it's an Apple issue even though it's a fix for a B&O product!I'm glad it's sorted and you can now enjoy your new A6. Maybe give us your review of how you're finding it?Dave.

Dave,
I'll let my photos speak for themselves by saying this product sounds just as great as it looks 😁 Honestly this thing is a work of art and the sound is spectacular. I am also an owner of an A8 and I have to say this sounds much better and is much more versatile, both in functionality and physicality. If anyone is on the fence about this, just go for it! You won't regret it one bit. The setup might end up being a pain, but the 24 hours of frustration I had was immediately forgotten once I heard this thing crank out some tunes!
It is growing on me and may do more so when I get to see and hear it.I can believe it sounds better than the A8. Whet do you think it is comparable with?Dave.
Nice shots! Agree with your statements.I've had mine for sometime now and love it.Dave, I'll let my photos speak for themselves by saying this product sounds just as great as it looks Honestly this thing is a work of art and the sound is spectacular.

Certainly a nice modern twist on the Beosound 1, and a more appealing product to women too.I guess its nearest competitor is the Beolit 12/15, so it would be nice to know how they compare🤒
Not even close. The A6 kills the 15/12.Certainly a nice modern twist on the Beosound 1, and a more appealing product to women too. I guess its nearest competitor is the Beolit 12/15, so it would be nice to know how they compare Beovision 7-55 Mk2, Beovision 8-32, Avant RF 28, Beolab 9, Beolit 15, Beoplay A2, Beocom 2, Beotime, H6, Form 2.
Hi there, I'll chime in! I am experiencing the same issue where the A6 appears in my AirPlay menu, but won't play. It behaves like in the OP's video. Interestingly, mine also required a reset prior to the iOS Settings configuration being available. I've tried several of my iOS devices for playback and power cycled the A6 and my entire network. So far Bluetooth will work, but I don't want my first real listen to be over a lossy streaming codec!
I'm glad my issue brought me to this forum! I'll share any outcome I get from contacting H&O support later this week.

To date I've had to do this on all of the ones I've setup for people, not sure why?I had a similar problem when I did my first setup. The "Set up new AirPlay speaker" never appeared. I did a reset of the A6 (used paperclip) and once it rebooted the "Set up new AirPlay speaker" appeared on my iPhone. From thereon it was straight forward.
