Bluesound Node 2i Question

I dont have my node anymore or else I would look through the app and help you get it configured to your wifi. Perhaps mental could chime in. 

@tbevan - since you are not using ethernet...

To see your various settings try the following...

1. Click on the icon that looks like three small horizontal bars at the top left of the Bluesound player screen
2. go to "Settings" menu item (at the bottom) and under the heading MUSIC LIBRARY you should see the "Network Shares" identified - i.e. if a NAS drive has been setup.
3. if you have a network share setup AND you are using the Bluesound App to select/play songs then you are connected to you network and you are streaming via the Bluesound App via your network
4. OTHERWISE - select the "Player" menu item
5. you will then see the "WiFi" settings - you should be asked to provide a password - i.e. IF your network is secure
6. if the Wifi is not setup - Configure your WiFi and then you will be streaming via your network
7. OR - from the Settings screen, you can set Bluetooth to "Manual" or "Disable" which enables you to activate/deactivate manually or Disable Bluetooth in the Player App altogether

The other option is to simply turn off Bluetooth on your iPad and if the Node 2 stops playing music it would be streaming from yout iPad.

The Bluetooth option on the Bluesound when in automatic mode will simply allows it to show up and be selectect from your Bluetooth device - like your iPad.

If you are still uncertain contact Bluesound support - they are very good

Hope that helps

Two weeks into the Node 2. My sound sytem now has access to online radio stations, and can network to my PC storage drives. Streaming did open my closed mind, I’ve found quite a few online stations I like.
With that said I do have some input I’d like to see eventually addressed. Construction of the device, add an on/off button, and move the USB port to another location rather than immediately under the ethernet port. The user interface on the app could use some help(added features) as well as the software itself. The other thing really bothered me was it has to index the files you tell it to see, why? It sees the files, why does it need indexed? All of the info is already available. Auto features to me also need addressed, owner should have the ability to disable those. I haven’t bothered to look at the traffic to and from the device to make sure bluesound had security in mind, but that is on my agenda. Just my thoughts.
All in all, for the price, nice.

Bluesound may have great customer service, yet I am still waiting for a reply since I emailed them last Thursday 21st Feb with my query.
