Connecting RIVO, second owner device not found?

Hello group !
Just bought a RIVO from original owner, I went through the manual, Powering it up downloading the app for my iPad , Opened the app, main screen “connecting to devices “and I got the wheel of death. It just went around until it timed out powered off back to red LED.
This was on Wi-Fi, which is quite strong, but I took the unit in to the room with the router and tried again all to no avail. It could not find anything…. I contacted the original owner. He said everything worked fine for him …suggested go Previous to the help support community so here I am I’m hoping somebody can shed some light on the situation.
Thanks,
Bernard

Hello Bernard,

This issue is happening because the previous owner did not perform a factory reset before selling the product, and it’s still using their Wi-Fi credentials.

To resolve this:

  1. Connect the Rivo via Ethernet to your router and launch the Volumio app. You should be able to find the device in the app.

  2. If this doesn’t work, please perform a factory reset using a USB thumb drive. You can follow the instructions here: How to do a factory reset from USB thumb drive?.

Thanks!
