in using a shielded Ethernet cable since this may reduce possible interference to the radio.
The radio's WiFi system is compatible with 802.11b, g, n or a networks and can use 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi
frequency bands.
If connecting using WiFi, the radio will typically work within a 10-20 metre radius from your wireless access point.
The actual range achieved will depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless networks, and possible
interference sources. DAB and FM radio functions can operate wherever the radio is able to receive a suitable
broadcast signal.
IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure that your router (or access point) is powered up and working with
your broadband Internet service (use your computer, smart-phone or tablet to verify this). To get this part of the
system working you must refer to the instructions supplied with those items.
