4 Connect to
your home Wi-
Fi network for
AirPlay
To connect DS6800W to your existing home
Wi-Fi network, you need to apply your home
Wi-Fi setting to DS6800W.
You can do this in two ways (depending on
which type of Wi-Fi router you use):
Automatically - if your Wi-Fi router
is WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)-
enabled and supports PBC (Push
Button Connection) (see ‘Scenario 1:
Connect to a WPS router’ on page
13)
Manually - if your Wi-Fi router does
not support WPS (see ‘Scenario 2:
Connect to a non-WPS router’ on
page 14)
Once connected successfully,
DS6800W will remember your
home Wi-Fi settings. Then you can
enjoy AirPlay whenever DS6800W is
powered on and connected to your
home Wi-Fi network automatically.
Before connection of DS6800W to
you home Wi-Fi network, check the
points below.
1 Make sure that your Wi-Fi router is
powered on and working properly.

To connect DS6800W to a Wi-Fi router
manually, you need access to DS6800W’s
built-in configuration web page for change of
its internal Wi-Fi settings. To do so, you need a
Wi-Fi enabled device with an Internet browser
for temporary Wi-Fi connection to DS6800W.
The Wi-Fi enabled device can be an iPod touch/
iPhone/iPad or a Wi-Fi enabled PC/Mac.
Follow the sequence below for connection of
DS6800W to a non-WPS wi-Fi router.
1 Collect settings of your home Wi-Fi router
and write down on paper for use during
DS6800W Wi-Fi setup (see ‘Collect
settings of your home Wi-Fi router’ on
page 15).
2 Switch DS6800W to Assisted Wi-Fi Setup
mode (see ‘Switch DS6800W to Assisted
Wi-Fi Setup mode’ on page 15).
A new Wi-Fi network created by
DS6800W will appear, with the
network name (SSID) of Philips Fidelio
AirPlay.
3 Connect your Wi-Fi enabled device to the
created new Wi-Fi network temporarily
(see ‘Connect your Wi-Fi enabled device to
the newly created Wi-Fi network’ on page
15).
4 Open the built-in web page of DS6800W
with the Internet Browser of your Wi-Fi
enabled device (see ‘Open the built-in web
page of DS6800W’ on page 17).
5 Change the internal Wi-Fi settings of
DS6800W based on the settings you
wrote on paper at step 1 (see ‘Change the
internal Wi-Fi settings of DS6800W’ on
page 18).
6 Restore your Wi-Fi enabled device back
to your existing home Wi-Fi settings (see
‘Restore your Wi-Fi enabled device back to
your existing home Wi-Fi setting’ on page
20).

Tip
For some Wi-Fi routers, you may need to hold the
WPS button for Wi-Fi connection or enable the WPS
PBC function from the router configuration pages. See
the user manuals of the specific routers for details.
If the Wi-Fi SETUP indicator on DS6800W blinks
yellow, it means that the Wi-Fi connection has failed.
Please wait for 2 minutes and try again. If the problem
remains, try to set up the Wi-Fi connection manually
(see ‘Scenario 2: Connect to a non-WPS router’ on
page 14).
If the Wi-Fi connection fails again, press and hold both
the + and - buttons on the main speaker to reset it, and
then try again.

devices, you are recommended to temporarily
disable the Wi-Fi function on your other Wi-Fi
devices.
Option 1: Use your iPod touch/iPhone/iPad
1 Select Settings -> Wi-Fi on your iPod
touch/iPhone/iPad.

WPA or WPA2 if enabled)
C Wi-Fi password (if Wi-Fi security is
enabled)
D DHCP mode (enabled or disabled)
E Static IP address settings (if DHCP
mode is disabled)
Switch DS6800W to Assisted Wi-Fi
Setup mode
After successful boot-up, press and hold
Wi-Fi SETUP on the back of the main
speaker for more than 5 seconds.
The Wi-Fi SETUP indicator blinks
green and yellow alternately.
A new Wi-Fi network of DS6800W
itself is created, with the network name

Wi-Fi network connection failed
Check if your Wi-Fi router is Wi-Fi
802.11b/g certified. This device is only
compatible with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g certified
routers.
If your Wi-Fi router is Wi-Fi 802.11n
certified, make sure to enable the 802.11b/
g mode. DS6800W does not support
connection to routers with 802.11n only.
This device does not support the WPS-
PIN method.
If your Wi-Fi router supports WPS and
the WPS-PBC method but fails to connect
to DS6800W, try the manual Wi-Fi setup
method (see ‘Scenario 2: Connect to a
non-WPS router’ on page 14).
Enable SSID broadcast on the Wi-Fi router.
Keep away from potential sources of
interference which may affect Wi-Fi signal,
such as microwave ovens.
If you fail to use your PC for Wi-Fi network
setup, check whether your PC is using a
Wi-Fi network. You cannot use Ethernet
connection for AirPlay network setup.
Make sure that the SSID name of your
home router consists of alphanumeric
characters, with no space or special
characters like %/#/* inserted.
If you choose to rename the AirPlay device
‘Philips_Fidelio XXXX’ in the setting
menu, do not use special characters or
symbols.
For some new types of Wi-Fi routers, a
network name (SSID) may be created
automatically when you use WPS for
connection. Always change the default
network name (SSID) to a simple one that
consists of alphanumerical characters, and

Video streaming or FTP downloads may
overload your router and therefore may
cause interruptions during AirPlay music
play. Try to reduce the load of your router.
•also change the Wi-Fi security mode to
secure your network.
Occasional breaking of AirPlay music
streaming
Do one or all of the following:
Move DS6800W closer to your Wi-Fi
router.
Remove any obstacles between DS6800W
and your Wi-Fi router.
Avoid using Wi-Fi channel which is
overlapped by the nearby Wi-Fi network.
Check if your network speed is fast enough
(in cases where multiple devices share the
same router, the AirPlay performance may
be affected). Turn off the other devices
connected to your home router.
Enable the Quality of Service (QoS)
option (if available on the Wi-Fi router).
Turn off other Wi-Fi routers.
No AirPlay icon on my iTunes host device
Make sure that DS6800W is already
connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
Before you open iTunes, make sure that
you have enabled Bonjour service in
your PC. Take Windows XP for example:
to enable the service, you can click
Start->Control Panel, and double-click
Administrative Tools-> Services->Bonjour
Service, then click Start followed by OK
on the pop-up menu.
If the problem remains, try to restart
DS6800W.
AirPlay connection failed with Mac or PC
Temporarily disable the firewall and
security software to see whether it blocks
the ports that AirPlay uses to stream
content. See the help documentation of
your firewall and security software on how
to unblock the ports used by AirPlay.
When you use iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad/
Mac/PC for AirPlay, if the music play breaks
or stops, try to restart your iPod Touch/
iPhone/iPad, iTunes or DS6800W.
