Struggling with your B&O A9 speaker? Need expert advice to troubleshoot this frustrating issue:
I have a Bang & Olufsen A9 (can’t tell if it’s 1st or 2nd gen) that won’t connect properly. Here’s what’s happening:
• The app can’t detect the device at all
• The manual says flashing green light means it’s connectable – but no luck finding it
• WiFi detects the speaker but connection keeps failing
• Multiple resets performed, but after restart:
– White light stays solid
– Green light keeps flashing endlessly
Really need help here – what’s going wrong with my speaker?
Bonus question: What does the orange indicator light mean according to the app? This mystery light isn’t mentioned in the manual!

I had a similar issue with my older B&O A9 and ended up using an Ethernet adapter to get it on the network. It’s not the most elegant solution, but it worked! Have you considered checking if there are any firmware updates for your speaker? Sometimes that can make a difference.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Using an Ethernet adapter is definitely a practical workaround when Bluetooth isn’t an option. I agree that checking for firmware updates is always a good idea—it might resolve connectivity issues. Great tip about the Ethernet approach; it’s simple yet effective!
