Can I update my soundbar if it is not connected to the Internet?
To update your soundbar using the Direct IP method:
- Go to support.bose.com/lu-soundbar-fw to download the latest firmware update for your soundbar.
- When prompted, save the product_update.zip file. Do not rename, open, or unzip the file.
If a prompt to download the file does not appear, your browser may have downloaded the file automatically. Look for the file in a browser notification message or in the Downloads folder. - Reboot the soundbar by disconnecting its power cord for 30 seconds.
- While waiting, verify it was unplugged by tapping the Microphone Off icon on the top of the soundbar. No tone should be heard after tapping the icon.
- After reconnecting the power cord, the status light on the front of the soundbar pulses white as it reboots.
- Once rebooted, the status light turns off.
- Once the soundbar finishes rebooting, determine its IP address. For more info, see Determining the IP address.
Be sure to check the IP address of the soundbar after rebooting since your router might assign it a new address. - In a web browser, type the IP address followed by :17008/update.html into the address bar (e.g. 10.0.0.6:17008/update.html) then press Enter.
- Select Choose File then select the update file downloaded earlier
- Click UPLOAD. The update file will begin to transfer and install.
- "UPLOAD COMPLETE" will appear in the browser once the file has been transferred to your soundbar.
- While the speaker is updating, the status light on the front of the soundbar pulses.
- The update is complete when the status light turns off.
