Case 2: Both the devices connected to different networks
In this case, you've to first connect your PC to your phone's hotspot and then proceed further.
Step 2: Hover your mouse on the "Server Address", now you'll see some IP addresses which you have to enter in your android app. Try each and every address which is seen in the desktop application because due to wifi connection or some other issue one or the other IP address might be incorrect.
Step 2: Hover your mouse on the "Server Address", now you'll see some IP addresses which you have to enter in your android app. Try each and every address which is seen in the desktop application because due to wifi connection or some other issue one or the other IP address might be incorrect.
Note: Here, I can see 3 addresses. In your case, the IPs and the number of IPs might differ.
Step 3: After trying an address just peek at the desktop screen to look for status. Once the status is seen connected, your that IP worked and now you can enjoy your wireless speaker. 😀
