Important Note: It is vitally important that your Network Player 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.
Note: Your player is not compatible with captive portal networks. Where possible, avoid the use of powerline adapters and Wi-Fi signal boosters/extenders, as these can disrupt the reliability of the network connection.
