Troubleshooting Anker PowerConf Speaker Connection

Troubleshooting Anker PowerConf Speaker Connection

June 12, 2020 by Mona 11 Comments

Between flexible schedules, no commute, and staying in your pajamas, working from home can be very appealing. But working remotely comes with its own challenges, especially with the endless virtual meetings and video conferencing sessions you have to join. Having the right devices for this can make your life less stressful.

Using the Anker Power Conference Speaker

There are many devices in the market that come handy for handling conference calls. Conference calls and online collaboration are inevitable, especially within corporate organizations. One of the most useful gadgets to own is Anker Power Conference speaker.

This is a high-quality speaker that emits quality sound. The speaker has six microphones that are sensitive to the background noise cancellation. It can easily pick up sound from across the room while limiting the echoes by using smart voice enhancement technology.

This device has good battery life and can last about 24 hrs. It’s an amazing device, however, it can be a challenge if you’re struggling to get it connected.

Troubleshoot Connection Issues with Anker Power Conference Speaker

The Anker Power Conference speaker has been configured with Bluetooth 5.0. Once you switch it on, go to your laptop or phone and scan for the nearby Bluetooth connections. From your device, you will see Anker speaker. Click on connect and you will hear a connection sound coming from the speaker confirming the connection.

If you are unable to find the device under your available devices, plug the device to power and let it charge for a while, switch it on again, go back to your laptop or phone, and scan for the available device near you.

USB Connection

The Anker power conference speaker comes along with a USB-C power port with an auxiliary USB port. With this USB connection, you can also connect the speaker to your laptop using the USB port. Power on your speaker and connect the USB connection to your laptop.

Once you connect, you will notice the connection pop up under your connected devices in your taskbar, the connection will prompt for drivers update or installation. Give this process between three to five minutes, but once the drives have been installed successfully you will get a prompt that the device is ready to be used.

Update the Drivers

If the drivers do not update automatically, go to the device manager by opening the RUN command or clicking windows key and R in your keyboard. Type devmgmt.msc and then click OK. Scroll down for the Universal Serial Bus Controllers, click on the drop-down icon, and you will find a list of the USB connected devices.

On the Anker USB connection right-click and select Update Drivers, you will get a pop-up window asking you how you want to search for the Drivers. Select Search Automatically to Updated Driver software. This will prompt your laptop to search for the drivers on your computer and on the internet for the latest driver software for your device. This process will take around five minutes to update the drivers and your device will be ready to connect.

Audio Settings

If the Anker Power Conference Speaker is connected via USB-C or Bluetooth and you are not able to get connected to your meeting application such as FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, Webex, or Google meetings, click on the Settings Icon in the device application.

Proceed to Audio Setting and make sure the Anker Power Conference speaker has selected the microphone and speaker. Once the connection is complete you are ready to enjoy your conference calls with this great device.

Get Anker Power Conference Speaker

Power Conference Speaker has been rated the best speakerphone for working from home in the year 2020. You can also charge your phone or other devices linked to the Anker Power Conference speaker using the Anker PoweIQ technology.

This allows the speaker to select other devices using the USB connection and comes in handy when you are in a conference call using your phone and the phone battery is low. This is a very handy device to own if you’re a frequent conference-caller, and it will definitely save you time in your workday.

    Looking for a chargeable conference microphone that has blue tooth capability to connect to the iphone and be able to play the incoming audio in my hearing aids (Resound chargable hearing aids). Can you recommend the model/s that would be able to do this?

    Thank you for your help.

    The background noise reduction stopped working. I’ve done a reset and it didn’t help.

    Every keystroke, paper movement all gets picked up by the microphone. It used to work great! Any suggestions?

    We’re using our Anker Conference Speaker in the room with some people, while we have other people connecting remotely with Zoom. In the room with the speaker, we hear very well. But the remote people say that the sound has a lot of static. Also, there seems to be a delay, a lag that is annoying that makes our hybrid classes not very effective. Please advise.

    I want to connect to my computer directly without using Bluetooth.
    Can I use the USB-C port (with the included cable)?
    Or must I use the other USB port (and provide my own cable)?
    I can’t find any instructions on this and it’s not working.

    My Power Conference has stopped working this morning, suddenly: have been using it with no problems for almost 5 months. It disconnected from my laptop – I tried re-connecting to that and the ipad, turning it off and connecting the power to charge. Nothing changes, the white and blue lights are on, it won;t turn off or charge.

    Any suggestions please
