Thank you for your attention to my question.

Can you tell me how the speed level changed in your first case when routers and  Mash systems were used? Has it grown or remained at the same level, but has it become more stable?

Interestingly, the only Wi-Fi issue we've ever had is with our Beosound 1 (first generation).

It was located in the kitchen and the wireless router (a standard EE model that they supplied when we switched to 100MB fibre broadband) is in the lounge at the other end of the house.

When we first set this up, everything was fine but, as time went on, the Beosound 1 struggled more and more with the signal and eventually became un-listenable - continually breaking up and dropping out when streaming Spotify. We ended up putting it into a spare bedroom much closer to the router where it is fine. I then replaced it with the Beoplay M5 that I won in a Beoworld draw in the kitchen, which works perfectly, as does the Beosound Core in the dining room next door to the kitchen (and which is actually even further away from the router).

Has anyone else experienced the Wi-Fi performance of a B&O product worsening with time but with no other changes? The Beosound 1 now gets barely any use now it's in the bedroom, but we love it and can't bring ourselves to part with it!

Vedet,

My change from the TP-Link "Wi Fi 6" system with a main router and a wireless "Range Extender" to the Google mesh "Wi Fi 5" system was done for reasons having nothing to do with the B&O performance.

The first equipment was mine, which I purchased because my previous internet provider doesn't give it for free.  My previous provider used this technology: Data Over Cable System Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) — семейство стандартов передачи данных по сетям кабельного телевидения по коаксиальному (телевизионному) кабелю.  I will sell this equipment, but I know I will only get a few kopecs for it.

My new provider gives the mesh router for "free," but in reality I know Google, which is an advertising company, uses it to build very detailed user profiles —I've gone and disabled many spy features but I'm sure they're still recording many things I do.  The technology Google uses is much, much faster, especially for traffic from the home to the internet —conversely, traffic from the internet to the home is only faster than DOCSIS: Fiber To The X или FTTx (англ. fiber to the x — оптическое волокно до точки X) — это общий термин для любой широкополоснойтелекоммуникационной сети передачи данных, использующей в своей архитектуре волоконно-оптический кабель в качестве последней милидля обеспечения всей или части абонентской линии. Термин является собирательным для нескольких конфигураций развёртывания оптоволокна — начиная от FTTN (до узла) и заканчивая FTTD (до рабочего стола).

The B&O devices work exactly the same under both networks: the new Google mesh has about 25% of the nominal capacity inside the house because it is "Wi Fi 5" vs. my previous "Wi Fi 6".

Having said this, since the internet outside the house is now much faster, I've noticed that internet radio stations now start in about 1 second.  I think that's about 1 second faster than before.

You have a whole entertaining story with the replacement of equipment. But despite the fact that Google is pursuing its goals, the replacement was clearly a step forward in stability and speed, which means it was worthwhile.

Thank you for such a detailed presentation and attention shown to my question.

Good afternoon!

I can't find in the B&O App how to disconnect from the wi-fi network and connect to another wi-fi network Beosaund Emerge. During the initial setup, everything is clear, I chose the equipment, setup, connection. And in the working order, I can not find how to switch to another network. Or do I have to exit this setting completely and configure everything again?

Hi Vedet,

changing the WiFi network on a B&O product is not intuitive (no WiFi menu on the device page) : you have to remove the product from the product list, and then the WiFi setup is accessible.

I looked through settings for my Balance, and it looks like Mozart based products need to be re-configured from start to change their network.  I'd be happy to learn otherwise, but I don't see a "Configure" menu item like on the ASE equipment.

Теперь вы можете зайти в приложение Bang & Olufsen и подключить продукт к новой сети. Часто это возможно с помощью уведомления, которое отображается над вашим списком продуктов.

Good afternoon!

Thank you for such valuable information.

If possible, tell  more about the Notification - how it looks, where it should appear, in which section of the Application, and, most importantly, how to connect Beosaund Emerge to the new network using this Notification, if you are not overwhelmed, then explain step by step, please.

And in the second case, if the Notification is not reflected, I have to press +" on the main page of the Application to open the general list of equipment, find BE in it, click on it and what next? To register it again? Or will the App only allow  to register a wi-fi network?

Can anyone else be able to clarify and clarify the information graciously provided by TPH? I would be extremely grateful for the help provided.
