Does the system have to be connected to the network to work with air play?

yes it does have to be connected to your network to use airplay via ethernet cable also think that the net radio is incredible over 15000 stations you can bookmark your favorites you have to add themfrom your computer for them to be avalible on the receiver but its fast and easy love this feature

That may be a question the manufacturer should answer. I use this on my WD TV HD box so that I do not have to plug a cable from my router to the WD box. The wireless speed is a bit slower than a wired connection so I still use a wired connection in the living room. It is convenient to plug in the wireless Airlink and I can take it into another room or upstairs and use the WD box on another tv to use Netflix, YouTube, etc. I would suggest you check with your manufacturer for an answer or contact Airlink for help too. My personal guess would be that if you have a USB on your unit, then the Airlink should work but this is my opinion only.

I have connected to a G, N and AC network. I cannot confirm if it will connect to an A or B network.

In theory yes, but you must set it up in (config>datause>3g); still you have Wi-fi and bluetooth where available to connect; I hope you find this answer useful!

At least three. I just tried it with an iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro, and they all connected and appeared to stay connected as I switched between them to play music over the car sound system. Only one device at a time can be the sound source for AirPlay on the airenabler, and that appears to be controlled by whatever device last selected AirPlay as the output device. When a new device does selects the AirEnabler for output, the old source stops. The switching process does take several seconds.

I believe it will require an adapter that allows you to do so. Other wise you will need an Ethernet cable to connect to the online apps and other network servers for media.

No, you will still need an Internet provider and wireless Internet service. This is intended to be used with an air card.

I connected it to my home network, but I don't know if you can add to it that way, or if you have to add to the SD card, physically.

you have the AIR then?well then you don´t need any WLAN usb stick because it has the chip onto the board. you just need a router and connect it to your network.edit: remember this is a "forum" for the R1, not the AIR. one important difference between the R1 and the AIR version is that the R1 doesnt have the wireless option built in. the AIR version does.what many people did was what I told you in the first post. the owners of the AIR version dont have to worry about how to enable to connect wirelessly, it already has it!

Not sure what air print is. But this printer is not wifi enabled. However, I downloaded and installed the free NetGear Genie app and it allows you to print to any devices, assuming that printer is connected to the LAN via an ethernet cable and that you have a wireless router. Works great with smart phones...

Yes you don't have to be connected to wifi, unless the game you're playing requires it

Yup. The air tunes feature is great. Once you hook up the AE your iPhone will automatically recognize the AE and allow you to stream your music. You might have to restart your phone and you will have to be connected to your wifi network to get it going. Hope this helps,Collin

Hello Jim, we are using two airenabler devices in our home network and I had no issues including them in our WPA2-PSK [AES] network and log right in. I hope this helps you make your choice. Regards, Peter

Yes, it does need to be connected I'm not sure if it has a memory (system) cause I've never tried it.
