How to connect your Bose SoundTouch speaker to a WiFi network using the Bosman App. The setup uses the speaker's own WiFi network (SoftAP).

Prerequisites

Step 1: Connect to the Speaker

  • Open the Bosman App and go to Settings"Set up new speaker".
  • Open your phone's WiFi settings.
  • Connect to the network "Bose ST ..." of the speaker.
  • Return to the Bosman App. The app automatically detects that you are connected to the speaker.

Step 2: Scan for WiFi Networks

  • Once connected to the speaker, tap "Scan WiFi networks".
  • The speaker scans for available WiFi networks nearby.
  • Alternatively, you can enter the network name (SSID) manually.

Step 3: Select WiFi Network

  • Select your home WiFi from the list of discovered networks.
  • For a secured network: Enter the WiFi password.
  • Tap "Connect".

Step 4: Wait for Setup

  • The app sends the credentials to the speaker.
  • The speaker exits setup mode and connects to your WiFi network.
  • The app automatically switches back to your home WiFi and searches for the speaker on the network.
  • This process can take up to one minute.

Step 5: Name & Finish

  • Once the speaker is found on the network, you can give it a custom name.
  • You can also skip this step.
  • The speaker then appears in the device list of the Bosman App.

Tip: If the app doesn't automatically find the speaker after setup, make sure your phone is connected back to your home WiFi. You can check this in your phone's WiFi settings.
