Abstract

Systems and methods for configuring a media playback device to connect to a local area network (LAN) and be controlled by a mobile device also configured to connect to the LAN are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes displaying screens on a graphical user interface on the mobile device indicating the status, scanning for Bluetooth low energy (BLE) devices using the mobile device, detecting a media playback device as a BLE device, connecting the mobile device to the media playback device using BLE, obtaining LAN connection information, configuring the media playback device to connect to the LAN using the BLE connection from the mobile device, and setting speaker configuration information for the media playback device using the graphical user interface.
