Hi,

I've just bought a brand new Node 2i, and connect it to my local network via a wire. I've installed the BluOs App on my windows 10 computer and share my music collection (local drive on my computer).

I don't have a home WIFI, so I'm asking if is it possible to manage my Node 2i  via my smartphone using the bluetooth or the 4G ?

 

Thanks a lot !

  Hi Castermane

  No. You must have a local WiFi network to use a smartphone or tablet to control your players. Bluesound Players use mDNS or zero configuration multicast to communicate with each other and apps on the network. By design, this universal protocol is not rout-able so cannot cross network IPs. This is why it is an ideal protocol used in most IoT smart home appliances.
