Can an iPhone and a Soundlink Air connect directly, without a separate wifi network?

Yes and No. For yes, Hold the reset button on the bottom of the speaker. It will now post out it's own wifi signal. The down side is that the Iphone now thinks it is on wifi and will not pull off pandora via the cell phone network.

Yes it can - the Soundlink can be set up as its own wifi hub (press and hold the reset button) and you can connect your Apple devices direct to the Sounlink.

No. The Soundsticks wireless are Blutooth wireless and do not connect through WiFi. WiFi and Blutooth are two different wireless communication media. If you have devices that have Blutooth capabilities, then you can connect to the SoundSticks with Blutooth. The range of connection is about 50-60 feet so you can be in one room with your device and connect to the speakers in another room. However, environment interference can shorten that range. I found that the Bluetooth connection drops from Apple's Mini iPad but works really well from our laptops and desktop.

You can easily link up to airport express from iPhone and you can link to your computer. I don't think you can stream to both at same time.

I hardwired connection would be best. I cannot recommend this system. It was very sporadic operating on my iPhone. I found it to be undependable.

Yes. It uses airplay to play your music or you can connect it directly using an aux cable

No, you can only use it through the iphone and the Philips app. I've had quite a bit of trouble with mine, getting the 2 to connect.

Yes... You can link with no problem with any device, I have two Iphone and both connected easily..

No, that's not true. But the tiniest amount of WiFi interference will knock out your connection to this thing. I rarely, if ever, have the same problem with an Apple Airport Express connected to some powered speakers.

i've never tried using wifi to connect to my computer but i don't see why not. I connected no problem to my iPhone via wifi

Hi!if you don't mind me asking, since I already have a wireless network in my house and the airport express can be use to stream my itunes music, all I would need to buy are the AE, and the cables to connect it to my speakers (and use my iphone 4 as a control remote).am I right?thanks!

No, wifi only when you are connected to the same wifi network. You can also connect through your Android / Iphone while away from your house / wifi network

The iPhone does not seem to like the Bluetooth connection. They have versions that use wifi, and you can use an AdHoc (scanner directly to iPhone with no wireless router) network to do it. That would be your best bet

I am assuming you are speaking of two music apps. If that is the case the only way is to connect your device to the speaker.

They live as devices on your Wifi network so you can have as many of them as you want. iTunes Airplay supports multiple speakers concurrently. iPhone Airplay only supports a single speaker.

I probably could if i could get the thing to sync with my wifi, but i cannot, so it sits up in my closet. A boat anchor. Better to get a Bose Soundtouch for internet radio. I did. It is easy to use, syncs with my wifi without any fuss, and has great sound.

Hi. That's a good question. I have not tried, but I think it will NOT. Before using it, you have to set it up by indicating the name of your wifi network. that is stored in some sort of internal memory of the device. If there is no wifi network I think it will not work the air play pairing. In any case it works as a charm when there is a wifi network... sorry for not helping so much..

no. Bluetooth is completely separate from WiFi. It works between devices independently.
