How do you finish setting up a Bose Smart Soundbar 600?
Answer
Put the phone on the same 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi you want the soundbar to use, power-cycle the soundbar until the light is ready for setup, then retry adding it in the Bose app close to the bar. Amber for a long stretch usually means it is still waiting on Wi-Fi setup, not TV HDMI yet.
Follow these steps
Power-cycle the soundbar
Unplug the Soundbar 600 for 60 seconds, plug it back in, and wait until the light is steady in the ready-for-setup state described in the Bose quick-start guide.
You should see: The amber searching behavior resets and the bar is ready to be found again.
Prepare the iPhone network
Join the home Wi-Fi network, disable VPN, and keep Bluetooth on. Force-close and reopen the Bose app.
You should see: The phone is on Wi-Fi and the Bose app launches cleanly.
Add the soundbar again in the Bose app
In the Bose app, add or set up new product, select Soundbar 600, and complete Wi-Fi entry when prompted. Stay next to the bar until setup finishes.
You should see: The app finishes setup and the soundbar appears as ready online.
Connect TV audio after Wi-Fi
Use HDMI eARC/ARC to the TV and set the TV audio output to the soundbar once network setup is done.
You should see: TV sound plays through the Bose Soundbar 600.

Extra tips
What to look for: Soundbar 600 shows amber for 10+ minutes, the Bose app finds it inconsistently, and Wi-Fi setup will not finish.
Before you change anything: Place the iPhone within a few feet of the soundbar. Know your Wi-Fi password. Connect HDMI eARC/ARC after network setup if TV sound is the next goal.
