This is from the instructions located here: https://www.ihomeaudio.com/media/uploads/product/files/iW2_User_Manual.pdf Renaming your speaker: To rename your iW2 speaker when using a direct Ethernet connection you must use either our iHome Connect app or put the iW2 speaker into "iHome Setup" mode . Please refer to pages 9 & 10 to discover how to change the name of your iW2 speaker. Note: Unplug ethernet cable and re-boot iW2 first if you want to switch to Wi-Fi connection .

Good morning, Unfortunately you can not change it. The is the system it is set to. Best regards, Jessi

You can put it on any station you want. You can change it on the transmitter

Yes. I can only speak for the iPad and iPhone. There is an app from Denon that least you switch sources and audio modes. I haven't tried it with a second zone yet, but I believe that is supported. The AirPlay support is pretty good as well. If you start streaming to it (built in support) it will automatically turn itself on.

Yes, but it is not user-friendly. And it's really a moot point as the quality of sound is sub par for iHome. I would not buy this model, Phyllis.

If you do airplay, it won't work. Zone 2 airplay only works while zone 1 also does airplay. Learned the hard way. Having to send it back.

This shows a seamy underside of Apple. On an Android device, you can give all your Bluetooth devices different, friendly names. But Apple in their Infinite Wisdom(tm) doesn't allow this. It is exactly for this reason that I have bought each off my Bluetooth receivers in my home and car from different vendors. Then I can at least tell the difference. There are threads on Apple's support site requesting the ability to rename Bluetooth devices but no response. (Apple's answer would probably be, hey, just buy Airport Expresses instead.)

Yes you can, but never update it. After 2 months working fine mine died when I tried to update it on itunes.

No. Adding AirPlay is actually expensive ($20-30 per unit is the reported cost, mostly due to license fees for it) and it isn't as widely compatible as Bluetooth. You could add AirPlay with an AppleTV, but then it won't trigger the unit on automatically when used.

Just plug it into your ipod and change the station on your radio to match the one on the transmitter...no app needed

There doesn't seem to be a way to change the name of the device itself. You should be able to rename it in your phone's (or whatever device you happen to be using)Bluetooth settings. Pair one, rename it Amazon_Audio 1 for example, then pair and rename the other likewise. That should help distinguish one from the other. Good luck!

yes, it will work as an access point, meaning you connect to its own SSID (WiFi Broadcast Name) and use Airplay.

No You Can't right now. Beside Airplay doesn't work that well on this device.

Yes but I don't know how you select the music! Select then disconnect the vga monitor or projector? I don't use airplay. I also had to change the audio to legacy for the old tv sound to work.

Have not used that feature yet as I bought the pair to use when catching up on Masterpiece Theater & HBO. If you call the iHome company they are very helpful. I assume you have already mated the speakers to your iPad, perhaps you must also mate your iPhone to the iHome also, then push the button on the far right. My first speakers went dead but Amazon replaced them and I have not had any more problems. They are excellent for the price. Good luck.

Yes you can. I just set mine up this weekend and it works fine. There's a nice setup program that helps you do this where you can specify the number of speakers in your room.
