JBL BAR Setup

Basic app that does what it is created to do. I when I first got this soundbar a couple years ago, I did have issues with the app and bar connecting to wifi and Google home connection was wonky. I but eventually it worked after a few times. When I had to reset the bar (because it had audio connection/lag) the setup worked fine afterward.

Not very useful. App was able to find my JBL Bar 5.1 Surround. It seemed stuck for a while, luckily I was watching the display on the soundbar and figured it was updating the firmware. App also let me add the soundbar to my Alexa speakers. But that's about it, app doesn't let me control the soundbar in any way - volume, settings... nothing. So, as its name says, only useful for setup.

Same experience as others. App is totally useless / stuck in a loop when trying to connect. I tried connecting to the JBL Wi-Fi, even with airplane mode on ruling out network gateway issues with 5G, and nada. I'll try plugging it in via Ethernet later when I have time, and seeing if I can connect directly to the IP address it gets assigned on my LAN. Will report back if / when I find a workaround.
