Connecting to a network

To use internet radio, streaming services, software updates and other network functions, connect the MEISTERSTÜCK 3 to a network.

Two options are available for quick setup: a wireless connection via WPS or a wired connection via LAN.

Connection via WPS

If your router supports WPS, you can connect the MEISTERSTÜCK 3 to your Wi-Fi network without entering the Wi-Fi password manually.

1. Press the WPS button on the router

Press the WPS button on your router to start the WPS function.

2. Press the WPS button on the MEISTERSTÜCK 3

Then press the WPS button on the rear of the MEISTERSTÜCK 3. The device automatically connects to your Wi-Fi network.

ℹ Your router must support WPS. For information about your router's WPS function, see its user manual.

Connection via LAN

Alternatively, you can connect the MEISTERSTÜCK 3 directly to your router or network using a network cable.

1. Connect the MEISTERSTÜCK 3

Connect the LAN connector on the rear of the MEISTERSTÜCK 3 using a network cable.

2. Connect the router

Connect the other end of the network cable to a free LAN port on your router or network switch. The network connection is then established automatically.

Other network setup options

In addition to WPS or LAN, you can set up and manage the network connection using the Network settings of the MEISTERSTÜCK 3.

There you can select available Wi-Fi networks and configure other network settings.

ℹ For a stable Wi-Fi connection, the MEISTERSTÜCK 3 should be within range of your router. Metal surfaces, reinforced concrete walls and other radio sources may impair signal quality.

ℹ Wi-Fi repeaters or mesh systems may occasionally cause connection issues. Ensure that your network is configured correctly.

ℹ A wired LAN connection generally provides the most stable connection for streaming services, internet radio and software updates.

ℹ You can adjust network settings at any time using the device menu.
