Hello Rajat Goel,

Thank you for the post.

We apologize for the issues you've run into with getting your new Home Speaker 500 activated within the Bose Music app, but I'd like to help. 

We did have an intermittent server communication issue we resolved last night. Can you test by rebooting your router and HS500 by disconnecting them from power for 30 seconds and try setting up your speaker again?

Let us know what the results are.

Kind Regards,

Re: Product activation failed error coming on Bose Home Speaker 500,good afternoon, I am also having the same issues with product activation failed editor message, I have rebooted on a number of occasions the WiFi, speaker and the app as per your suggestion without success? Is this a product fault that you are aware of and should I return the unit?

Hi Ms14,

Thanks for writing in!   Sorry about the troubles, but would be happy to help!

There were some troubles with the Amazon server's yesterday which may have caused an issue with the setup of the system.  Let's see if we can factory default the system and try and re-add it to the Bose Music app.  You just have to hold down the Aux and Vol - buttons simultaneously.  

Let us know how it goes!

Warm Regards,

Tony A

Hi Amol,

Thanks for writing in!

• Can you let us know the steps that you performed with the phone representative regarding troubleshooting?
• Was a factory default attempted?  
• If so, I would recommend calling them again and replacing the soundbar with a new one.

Warm Regards,

I was having troubles activating my soundbar 500 then I went into my router settings and turned off the firewall and it activated. Try looking at your router settings or if possible try another router
