The device has to be connected with a cable (The unit does not have integrated WIFI tech) but you could connect it to a Wifi device eg apple airport extreme...

No, it does not need to be wired to your router. In fact, there is no way to direct connect to your router anyway. It will connect to your network from wherever it is placed.

I used cable connection, mostly. WiFi is very poor and unstable. I dont remember if I had to do something special to connect, and I dont use that device any more.

No, it does not connect wirelessly. However I purchased a wireless extender so it can be connected wirelessly if you buy extra hardware. otherwise it needs an ethernet cable.

It's been a while since I had that device, and I never tried connecting via cable. However, as far as I know, a wired connection is better than a wireless connection in any circumstance with current day technology.

Hi,This has wifi but in general you need a internet connection to connect to. This has a USB wifi but you would still need a wireless connection to connect.Please let us know if you need any other help.Recircuit 844-889-1070

You have to connect to wifi and most wifi connections you need the password

Yes it needs to be wired, I put it next to my router and can access it from anywhere. I use computers, my iPhone, and my iPad. Works great!!!!

I used the wireless feature to connect. Mine came with a cord too for plugging into a USB port for charging (very slow) and to transfer data (music, photos, etc)

You can use a cord as we'll, It actually comes with it. Although audio quality is way better with the blue-tooth connection.

yes, it will automatically connect using wi-fi. If you want to connect with a cable, you will have to manually disable wi-fi.

It has it's own built in wifi signal it emits to your device and that's how you connect to it. Honestly, I could never get it to work even though I could get my device to see it. I just plus it in and use it like a flash drive now.

it has a wifi adapter already installed. When you turn on the player the first time it sets up your account and saves the information just like a laptop. When you want to use a wifi app it connects to the internet.

Well considering it is a WiFi USB adapter use u need WiFi to use thus device. But WiFi is not required to setup or configure the device.
