Which Grace Internet radio wire connects to router? I get no WiFi and no cell/satellite signal in my house.

The radio only connects using wifi only. If you don't have wifi it won't work.

The Grace Digital GDI-IRDT200 tuner (no speakers) plugs directly into a router via an ethernet cable. The Grace Digital GDI-IRC7500 table radio has built in stereo speakers and uses a USB/Ethernet adapter cable to hook up to your router. Amazon has both.

Gee, I don't know what to tell you. I had some problems at the beginning where the radio would lose connectivity to my wireless router due to interference from the wireless phone in the 2.4 GHz band. I changed the router to dual band two weeks ago and the connectivity problems went away. You might want to wire the radio to the router via the RJ-45 port in the back and see if it works and then take it from there. I did that whe I could not connect to the wireless radio to eliminate the possibility that I had a bad radio. Try that first. Good luck!

From what I can tell, the antenna is not removable. Mine is about 30 ft from my router and I don't have a problem with connections: I would also recommend getting the Grace Digital app on your smartphone or tablet because the remote is fairly non-intuitive.

Basically it works from your wi-fi home network. Whatever you can get on your computer in terms of stations, you can get on the radio. That includes commercial radio as well as internet only stations. I'm in California and listen routinely to Iowa and Massachusetts stations. You can download the owner's manual at the Grace Digital web site. I'd really recommend doing that. There's something of a learning curve in using it, (baby boomer age here) though it's not hard. It's not plug 'n play, though. I'm a fan of this radio, use it as an alarm. I have a second portable version I use elsewhere in the house.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mickey. I tried the same thing, but still no success. I've restart, reset, and doublechecked everything I can think of, but still no connectivity to the station list. Argggg...

Hello friend. The wire is really short coming out of this antenna, around 1.5 ft. Btw this is not a router, just an antenna. It also didn't do anything to improve signal quality, I recommend you not to buy this item.

My Hawking antenna is connected to a wireless adapter card that is plugged into my computer. This card has two stick antennas sticking out of the back, and I unscrewed one to connect a 20-foot cable that also connects to the Hawking. The Hawking transmits to and from a wireless-N repeater that lives in the nearest end of the main house, and this repeater in turn retransmits and amplifies the wireless signal from the Linksys wireless-N router at the far end of the house. The router and the repeater both have built-in antennas, nothing to which to connect a cable/external antenna. Most wireless routers these days seem to have built-in antennas without connectors for external cables or antennas, but some are still available with external antennas. Go to www.microcenter.com or to www.tigerdirect.com, search for "wireless router N", and scan the pictures to look for those routers having "stick" antennas on their backs. Those antennas unscrew, exposing a connector to which you can instead attach a cable leading to your Hawking antenna. That said, I have no experience with any of those specific routers, so cannot recommend a particular one. I do recommend wireless-N rather than the obsolescent and slower wireless-B or -G, and also sticking with a major name brand rather than some less-expensive and less-supported "no-name" brand with poorer software and pseudo-English instructions. I hope this helps and that you get your system up and running with no difficulty.

I had the same issue, I called up dlink tech support desk, so after 3 failed attempts to fix the problem, they sent me the replacement AC model. The new router is working fine now but w/ occasional signal disconnect. Overall, I'd say - if possible get your money back and go for netgear.

Did the answer work for you? I have the same phone and the same issue. It only started acting up when I moved to Saint Paul, MN from IN though. My internet also does not work away from wifi. Did you have that problem too?

As far as I am aware the Grace Digital will work with any wireless router. If you have a laptop connected wirelessly to you network then the Grace Digital should likewise attach.

I would try getting a new router and perhaps a new modem, or, better yet, take it somewhere that has a different wireless set up to see if it works before changing anything. When I bought the radio I had a 5 yr old linksys 802.11b router running off an even older RCA cable modem. I had similar DNS problems and tried everything described above and then some (including bypassing the router and plugging it directly to the cable modem) . The radio never acquired an internet connection. Aluratek support tried to help (a little) and concluded the radio was faulty. So, I got a new one and returned the old one to Amazon (Amazon doesn't really exchange, but has a decent return policy and will credit a return against your purchase of a replacement.) The replacement radio didn't work in exactly the same way the first one didn't. work Coincidentally, at about the same time we were about to switch internet service from comcast to fios, so I decided to keep the radio a few days and try it with the new service, during which time I entertained myself by playing mp3s off a thumb drive. After the new internet service (including new modem/WAP) was installed I turned on the Aluratek and (presto) it immediately connected to to the internet and played as advertised, and I have not had a problem since. By the way, I have had a Roku internet tuner (the kind that needs to plug into a stereo or powered speakers, not the table radio) and it never had a problem with the old modem and wireless. The Roku does seem to buffer faster and doesn't cut out nearly as much now, though.

I got this to work. Just take your Aux male 3.5" plug from the sound bar and the 3.5" male 3.5" from the cable supplied with your Grace radio. Connect the Aux male from the sound bar in a female connector. Take the 3.5" supplies cable and plug into the other end of the female connector (both sides are female). Take the red and white RCA cables and plug them into the Grace radio Audio out connections. Next flip you speaker switch on back of the Grace radio in the up position (external). Turn on you sound bar remote and set the source button to AUX. Turn on your Grace radio and the sound bar will output the Audio along with your wireless woofer. AOk I got this to work.

That coax looking cable is likely the antenna. the router only has ethernet ports, no sort of coax.

I am having trouble connecting my netgear 900 router in replace of my white tenda wireless router, any suggestions? It always shows no connectivity when I finish plugging in all the cables.

I haven't updated/connected to my router in a while, so I'm not sure what version I am running and I would need to drag out my laptop to check it. If you had no problems with 1.88 I would try going back to it. If that doesn't work then contact support/RMA it.

I do not believe that you can stream Sirius since you need a password to access the stream. Believe me-- after I got my Grace, I canceled my Sirius subscription. The offerings on internet radio are so more comprehensive than Sirius, I stopped listening completely to sat radio. If wireless was mobile, XM and Sirius would disappear completely, IMHO.

Well I have a linksys wireless router plugged into the modem. The modem does NOT send out a wireless signal it is just a cable internet modem so if you don't have a wireless router you won't be able to connect with the modem unless you plug an Ethernet cable into it.
