  • Learn how to troubleshoot when you can’t connect your Google Assistant device to your home Wi-Fi network.

    The Checklist

    Let us walk-through a list of things needed to ensure every requirement is met.

    1. Check your mobile device if that is able to connect to same Wireless network.
    2. Make sure you are within range of your Wireless router.
    3. Check the Wireless signal on your mobile device, does it have a weak signal then move closer to the router.
    4. Try both Wireless network bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz in case one of them are failing.
      1. You will have longer range with 2.4GHz, but less performance and most of the times a crowded network (many devices are using 2.4GHz band).
      2. You will have less interference with 5GHz and higher performance, however, the range of the 5GHz network has shorter range.
    5. Try using a different mobile device, if you have one.
    6. Reboot your Wireless network router and your mobile device.
    Watch the video below for help with setting up your Google Assistant device.

    Wireless Network Extender

    Some houses or apartments can be too big for one Wireless network router to cover it all.
    Let's talk about the issues that might appear with an Extender network.

    1. Network Extenders that will help cover poor signal in your home, often results in poor connection and low speed performance.
    2. Often the Network Extender is a low budget device or not suited for having too many devices attached to it.
    3. Placement of the speaker is crucial as you can put it in a place where it could connect to either main Wireless router or the Extender, that will confuse Wireless network devices.
    4. To solve this issue, try move the speaker closer to main router or have fewer devices attached to your Wireless Extender.
    5. In addition, always use 5GHz connection between your Network extender and main router (best solution and performance).

    One Wireless Network Name (SSID)

    1. You may have set the Wireless Network SSID (Wi-Fi network name) to one big Wireless network (With a main router + Extender(s).
    2. If the JBL LINK device is within range of both Wireless networks (Main router & Extender) then it can get confused with which one to connect to.
    3. To solve this issue, using two different name for your extended network will help with the performance of the JBL LINK Speaker and Google Assistant request.

  • Is the Harman Kardon Allure speaker set to a specific language?
    It would depend where you buy it from. If you bought it in Germany, it will speak German from the start and if you bought it from USA or UK it will speak English. The langauge of the speaker can be changed in our HK Alexa setup app. Go to Settings, Device, Language and select your preferred language.
  • Is the Dual Wireless Sound for the Onyx Studio 5 compatible with the Onyx Studio 3 that also features the Dual Wireless Sound?*
    No. The Dual Wireless Sound featured in the Onyx Studio 5 only gives you the capability to connect to a second Onyx Studio 5. It is not possible to connect the Onyx Studio 3 and 5 together. The Onyx Studio 5 can only be connected to no more than one other Onyx Studio 5.
  • Is my OMNI BAR+ system 2.1 or 3.1?
    The OMNI BAR+ as standalone system is 2.1, however when using it in a 5.1 wireless surround system, it generates a virtual acoustic center speaker to complete the 5.1 Surround system. In that combination it will be a 3.1 system.
  • Is it possible to turn up the volume using my voice on Harman Kardon Allure speaker?
    Yes, Alexa has various voice commands to turn up the volume. Try saying "Alexa, turn it up" or "Alexa, set volume to 5".
  • I have OMNI + speakers connected to my WiFi extender, and sometimes there is a problem linking them together.
    Make sure your WiFi extender's name is not the same as that of your main WiFi network. Please use 5 GHz WiFi extenders only for best performance.
  • I have large delay between my OMNI+ speakers. How can I fix this?
    Please make sure that if you use 5GHz or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, all your speakers are connected to either 2.4GHz or all are connected to 5GHz Wi-Fi to have the best performance.
  • I have a source connected to my AVR via component video inputs, and my TV connected to the receiver’s component video output. Both are set for 1080i resolution. When I play a Blu-ray Disc or DVD, why is the video blocked and my TV displays the message "Copy protected analog input, use HDMI out"?
    DVD and Blu-ray Disc copy protection only allows analog video output up to 576p resolution when playing DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. To view video at higher resolutions use the AVR’s HDMI inputs and HDMI output instead of its component video inputs and output.
  • I have a pair of OMNI+ speakers set up as a stereo pair. When I am streaming music to them, the music takes a while before playing.
    Make sure that both speakers are using the same network technology, either Ethernet or WiFi. Mixing them will increase music loading time.
  • I cannot use Bluetooth or AUX IN when pairing my OMNI+ speaker to the WiFi network.
    It is not possible to use the speaker while installing it to your WiFi network. Once you have successfully connected to the WiFi network, you can use Bluetooth and AUX again.
  • I can not play music to my Omni speakers using a Huawei phone with HK Controller app. Is there any way to fix this?
    Unfortunately, some Huawei phones are not able to stream music from the HK Controller app to 1st generation Omni speakers. However, the new Omni 10+, 20+, and 50+ have fixed this issue, and you will be able to stream music to them using your Huawei phone.
