  • Ensure your WiiM device and the computer running Integration Designer are connected to the same network.
     
  • Verify that your WiiM device is running the latest firmware to ensure compatibility with the RTI system.
     
  • Find and record your WiiM device’s MAC address in the WiiM Home app under Device Settings > Device Info. You’ll need it for the integration steps below.
