Bowers & Wilkins A7 won't connect to my Netgear R9000 router

B&W A7 worked fine on my Apple Time Capsule router but does not connect to my new Netgear R9000 router.

If you are telling us that B&W speaker worked fine when it was previously connected to the Time Capsule wireless, but you are now using a Netgear router to provide your wireless network signal.....and......you have not reset the B&W back to its default settings and then set it up again.....chances are the B&W speaker is still programmed with the settings to connect to the Time Capsule wireless.....and it does not know how to connect to the Netgear router.....because it has not been set up to do so.

If this might the case, you will need to reset the B&W speaker back its original factory default settings and then set it up again to connect to the wireless provided by the Netgear router.

If you are telling us something else.......please provide as many details as you can.....since we cannot "see" your network devices or know exactly what you might be thinking.

One last thing I would like for you to try and that is to enable IPv6 Link-local only mode on your Mac. To do so:

• Leave the software firewall and anti-virus (totally unnecessary) disabled.
• System Preferences > Network > Ethernet or Wi-Fi (depending on how you connect your Mac to the network) > Advanced > TCP/IP > Configure IPv6: Link-local only > OK

Not sure why you are posting to the Apple networking section since neither your B&W speakers nor your Netgear router are Apple products.

Is the issue that you cannot connect your B&W speakers to the Netgear's wireless network, or that you can't stream, using AirPlay, from both your iPhone & MacBook Pro are attempting to the speakers?

I guess the question here is........we are trying to figure out how a Time Capsule might relate your issue with a Netgear router and B&W speaker?

It would seem that you have a question for the B&W support forum.......http://bwgroupsupport.com/

or

the Netgear support forum.....Support | NETGEARhttps://www.netgear.com/support/default.aspx

If you have a question about an Apple Time Capsule.......what would that be?

If you don't have a question about an Apple Time Capsule.....we will try to help on other Apple products like a Mac....but there may not be many users here on a support forum for Apple products that can offer specific help on a B&W or Netgear product.

The B&W SW on my MAC sets up the device but fails upon confirmation and thus does not assign an IP address.

Per chance are you running any form of VPN, software firewall or anti-virus on your Mac? If so, and you disable them, can the B&W app complete the setup now?
