We appreciate you for sharing your feedback. Our JBL Link Portable has a music playtime of up to 8 hours. However, this varies depending on the volume level and music content playing. If multiple devices are connected to your home network, the speaker may have difficulties getting a stable connection. Try disconnecting other devices on your Wi-Fi to reduce network traffic or congestion that can lead to a slow connection. In addition, please try to switch between your home network's 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandwidth to see if the same connectivity issue would occur. If the issue continues, please contact our customer support via our official website or toll-free hotline for more assistance.jbl.com Originally posted on jbl.com

How do I know the speaker enters the bluetooth pairing state after pressing the bluetooth button? (I don't see any sign) Should it turn blue? blinking? any other sign?
I see that you're having an issue with connecting to your JBL Link Portable via Bluetooth. This unit requires you to setup up via the Google Home app to enjoy its features including the Bluetooth function. Once you've completed the setup, you may press the Bluetooth button or ask the speaker to "turn on Bluetooth". From there you can definitely connect your mobile devices without any issues.

I can't pair the speaker by bluetooth. I press the bluetooth button, the battery line gets on (I assume the speaker enters the pairing state) but my phone can't find the speaker. What should I do? (I already reset the speaker once, with no results)
Thanks for your inquiry. We strongly recommend setting up the JBL Link Portable properly to unlock all its features. If you have any queries or apprehensions regarding your speaker, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our customer support for additional guidance.

Can this speaker be paired with a JBL Flip 4 and Flip 5 to play music simultaneously?
Our JBL Link Portable doesn't support our PartyBoost or Connect+ features; it has Chromecast and Google Assistant built-in, which lets you wirelessly pair your Chromecast-enabled speakers via the Google Home App. The PartyBoost feature and Connect+ are on our portable Bluetooth speakers, such as the Flip 5, Pulse 4, Boombox 2, Charge 5, etc.
