Abstract
An example playback device includes programming to perform functions including detecting a triggering event that causes the playback device to transmit a first message indicating that the playback device is available for setup. The functions also include receiving a response to the first message that facilitates establishing an initial communication path with a computing device operating on a secure wireless local area network (WLAN), where the initial communication path is outside of the secure WLAN. The functions also include receiving, from the computing device via the initial communication path, a second message containing network configuration parameters for the secure WLAN including an identifier of, and a security key for, the secure WLAN. The functions also include using the network configuration parameters to connect to the secure WLAN and transitioning from communicating with the computing device via the initial communication path to communicating with the computing device via the secure WLAN.
