I have bought a Bose soundlink AirPlay which is set up correctly but not appearing on my air playlist. However my apple TVs are. Anyone got any idea?

I Have bought a Bose Soundlink AirPlay which is connected to my home wifi. My MacBook, iPad and iPhone are all connected to the same wifi. The Bose sometimes shows up on the AirPlay list but mlst of the time does not appear. I have 2 Apple tvs which show up in the list but the Bose seems to be the problem. Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

any help would be greatly appreciated

2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process

3. Turn on AirPlay Speaker and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process

4. Turn on iPad and test AirPlay Speaker

Hi

I did all that and it did not cure it but I have just moved the speaker to another location and it seems to be working there. I did read about interference that may affect it so maybe this was the case!

I may be back on if I have further problems but thank you for your time today.

Regards
