The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan.  I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018.  It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while.  Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone.  Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article,  https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html .  Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again. I think the most important setting is to TURN WPS OFF on the router!  Hope it helps.

ICAS Sample papers

Looking for ICAS past papers.  $15 per paper on the ICAS official site.  Or there are free samples here: https://bettereducation.com.au/resources/ICAS_Practice_Questions.aspx  Free sample pages. https://www.intereseducation.com/resource-categories/icas-past-papers/  This one has some past papers.  The website is a bit weird.  Many weird pop-up links.  Be aware. Spend some more time 'google' it.  Good luck.
