ArnoD Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Should be great if Klipsch would release a firmware update for the G17 Air to enable full compatebility with the new Airplay 2 In standard player I cannot select both my G17 air speakers as output. I suppose this is due to the firmware of the G17? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariam Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Now that Bonjour has been removed from Safari 11 there is still no way to update the firmware on G17s. Klipsch’s customer service at addressing this issue has been awful. I have been trying for years to get an update, and Klipsch has no resolution. Ive upgraded to a Apple HomePod, and I’m loving it!

jberry Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) I was able to upgrade the firmware on my G17 just now using Safari. Indeed, the Bonjour browser is no longer a part of Safari, but I was able to use the free 3rd Party "Discovery - DNS-SD Browser", from Tildesoft in the Mac App Store, in order to obtain the ip address of the device. I was then able to form a URL from that ip address (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in order to access the speaker from Safari to perform the upgrade, mostly as the instructions indicated. I too am hoping that Klipsch will support this speaker and add support for AirPlay 2. The firmware upgrade I did took me from a 2012 version to a 2015 version, which of course wouldn't support AirPlay 2. (Note to Klipsch: I'd be willing to beta-test a firmware upgrade for you...

carloscorrea137 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Tried to figure out how to update my G-17 today and figured I'd document the process I managed to get working on my Mac, an alternative to downloading an app. Requires running some commands in the Terminal (which you can find in your applications folder, or by typing "Terminal" in spotlight), so make sure you are comfortable/confident with this. The first command is to look up the Bonjour "instance name" of your device. It should match the name you've assigned to it. 1. Run this command: dns-sd -B _http._tcp 3. You should see some output that looks like the following. Copy the name you assigned to your G-17. 3. End the command with Control-C.

Timestamp A/R Flags if Domain Service Type Instance Name 18:59:10.957 Add 2 5 local. _http._tcp. my g17 The second command looks up the address for your device. 1. Run this command, substituting the bold for your device instance name: dns-sd -L "my g17" _http._tcp 2. Copy the device address. 3. End the command with Control-C.
