How does the Nuvo whole home audio system work?
Use the Gateway to use wirelessly from zone to zone. Add players in other rooms to spread the fun, and remember every room can listen to its own selection or be synchronized with other zones so that no matter where you go in your home your music follows you there. Controlled with Apple and Android devices.
How do I change the network address on my Nuvo?
To provide an easy process for changing the wireless frequency, follow these instructions at the front panel of the zone player. Press and hold the “Mute” button for 5 seconds. When the LED lights once, release the button. The LED will flash red momentarily until it reacquires a network address.

Why does my Nuvo zone keep losing connection?
The obvious symptom is that the audio will be choppy and drops in the stream will occur. Another potential issue is that the zone will acquire an IP address at initial setup, but once it starts communicating with the rest of the system it will lose connection.
