Configure a Squeezebox for Wi-Fi with WPA2

Goal

Configure a Squeezebox to use Wi-Fi with WPA2-PSK.

Prerequisites

• Device connected by Ethernet for the initial setup (Wi-Fi-first onboarding is tracked separately, see below)
• Device in setup or init mode
• go-udap installed and on PATH
• Your Wi-Fi SSID and pre-shared key known
• Your Lyrion Music Server's IP address known

Steps

1. Download the example config and edit wireless_SSID, wireless_wpa_psk, and server_address.
2. Discover the device (still over Ethernet): go-udap discover
3. Apply: go-udap set <mac> --config wifi-wpa2.conf --reboot
4. Unplug the Ethernet cable.

Verification

After ~30 seconds (Wi-Fi association takes longer than wired), re-run go-udap discover. The device should appear with its DHCP-assigned Wi-Fi IP. If it doesn't, plug the Ethernet back in to recover and check the SSID/PSK values.

Example config

wifi-wpa2.conf

Notes

• interface=0 selects wireless. The example config sets this explicitly. On factory-fresh devices go-udap set will also infer interface=0 from wireless_SSID if you omit it (and report the inference on stderr), but pinning it in the config removes any ambiguity.
• wireless_wpa_mode=2 is WPA2; wireless_wpa_mode=1 is WPA; wireless_wpa_mode=0 is WPA-mixed-mode.
• WEP is also supported (wireless_wep_on=1, wireless_wep_key=...) but is insecure; don't use it on networks you care about.

Wi-Fi-first onboarding (without Ethernet)

Initial onboarding of a factory-state device over Wi-Fi (using the device's built-in ad-hoc network) is a separate procedure. See Onboard over Wi-Fi using ad-hoc mode.
