Getting connected

Connecting to WiFi

Important Note: It is vitally important that your AXN10 remains connected to an internet network as often as possible, either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. This will ensure that the unit is regularly updated to meet essential security protocols, third party compatibility and the latest software requirements.

Failure to maintain your device with regular firmware updates as provided by Cambridge Audio will void the product warranty and is likely to cause major issues to the unit in time. Please ensure that your unit is updated to the most current firmware version. Information on the latest firmware version for the AXN10 can be found here.

Note: The AXN10 is not compatible with captive portal networks. The AXN10 can connect to 2.4GHz/5GHz WiFi networks
