I'm not hearing good reviews on the YWA-10 WiFi adapter or even the YBA-11 BT adapter. Anyone tried these? Any better alternatives?

The stereo is absolutely seller Have had it close to a year now no issues problems or regrets. As to the adapter I cant speak to that as I do not have a need for any adapter I can stream via network connection spotify and pandora and can use Apple AirPlay just fine.

I only tried the 11 & it works great. I had no readon to try others. This receiver combo does everything you can ask of it.

I use an Apple airport wifi adaptor and have had no problems. Works great. I get excellent network connection and stream music all day long. I really like this unit because of the iPad and iPhone apps that let me control it. Much better display and interface than the front panel.

I am using a wi-fi extender that has an Ethernet port for connecting the R-N500. I had to move the extender a few feet to stop connection failures and it seems to work fine now.

I bought a $50 speaker from Marshalls that is far superior in function than this unit. Connecting takes forever, and don't expect to hear an entire song without interrupting. I gave it as a gift to someone, who gave it back after attempting to deal with it for sometime, it was unfortunately past Amazon's return date by then.

The YWA-10 seemed too expensive ($56.62), so I bought the "IOGEAR Universal Ethernet to Wi-Fi N Adapter for Home or Office GWU627 (Black)" ($34.49) and have had no problems with it. You first need to configure it to join your Wi-Fi network using an ethernet cable (included) and a PC/laptop, then it can be connected with the ethernet cable to the Yamaha, powered by the Yamaha USB connector, and it automatically joins your Wi-Fi network. I have used it for internet radio and Pandora with no problems. The unit is quite small and compact.

I have Wifi. I returned this product and bought a used microsoft adapter that worked flawlessly right out of the box.

Hey there-If I were you I'd TOTALLY stay away from this product. Yamaha 2nd level tech support called me 8 days later and I explained to them that I didnt want to speak to them and how disappointed that a 2 year old $2000 receiver couldn't get support - they were the ones who told me to buy the YWA!!. The YWA-10BL isnt made for Bluetooth; youd be better off buying, like I did, a TP-LINK TL-WA801ND Wireless N300 Access Point, 2.4Ghz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, AP/Client/Bridge/Repeater, 2x 4dBi, Passive POE for $21.79 and using an Ethernet cable to connect to your receiver allowing it to pick up your WIFI signal. Mine is working 100% now.Again - stay away from this Yamaha product! HMU with any other questions! Hey there-If I were you I'd TOTALLY stay away from this product.

The Dwa 160 is not worth buying... I honestly believe it won't work. I'm using it now on XP and I'm totally disappointed with it. It works alright for maybe around month but then It frequently disconnects and then it starts to goes on a disconnect and connect loop every 10 seconds. It causes Blue Screen of Death Errors.. I been trying to play Max Panye(PC) and it kept crashing to the BSOD every three minutes and I been trying to figure out why thanks to the game I was able to find out DWA-160 was causing Blue Screen Errors to my computer for the past 3 months when I bought the Adapter 5 months ago. When I removed it the game started working fine. It repeatably disconnects and pop up a annoying window when trying to play a PC game(not a online game) or download something over 20mbs or trying to watch a video.

You need to buy a wireless adapter. This is what I used. Gigabyte GC-WB300D 1Mbps/2Mbps/3Mbps Data Rate Exclusive Bluetooth 4.0/Wi-Fi Expansion Card Motherboard. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081Y0Y4E/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Yamaha YWA-10 wireless network adapter is a adapter wireless only, no bluetoothThe Yamaha YWA-10 wireless network adapter can be used to connect a device such as Yamaha receiver, a smart TV or Blu-ray Disc player etc to a wireless home network.The YWA-10 connects to the Ethernet port on the back of your device and communicates directly with your wireless router.

I've used the DWA-125 version with 1.40 Firmware and it works fine for me. I ordered a replacement 125 that arrived with firmware 1.50 and it doesn't work...or the whole thing is broken. Makes me wonder if you can install older firmware on an adapter with newer firmware.

I have Yosemite 10.10.2. If anyone has found a driver that enables this dongle work with my Macbook Air...Let me know and I'll order it. Desperately need a wifi antenna/amp soon... but would be foolish to order until there are some assurances that the thing works!

please post a review! I'm debating on whether to get this, not sure if it's the same as a regular old bluetooth adapter (which is much cheaper) and can't seem to find any information about it.

This wireless adapter is not easy to use totally. It's only play the certain music library. I think the Blue tooth will be much better.

I'm using Windows 8.0 and it seems to (sort of) work. While I am currently using this adapter while writing this (and it seems to be working ok), I have lots of connectivity issues when downloading anything it seems like. Whether this is a Windows 8 compatability issue, out of date drivers, or just a faulty adapter - I have no idea. At seemingly random times, the download speed will start to decrease rapidly until it loses signal completely. Unplugging it and plugging it back in is the only fix I've found so far, and that's just a temporary fix until it decides to lose the signal again. UPDATE: My computer has since updated to Windows 8.1 and the adapter no longer works at all. It can't find ANY available wifi networks to connect to (I live in an apartment complex, so typically like 20 different potential networks would show up). Also, I feel it's worth mentioning that I have a chromebook which has never had a problem connecting to my internet, so I know it's a problem with the adapter and not something else.

I tried a netgear adapter first and never could get it to connect. I don't know if it was me or the device. When I tried to use the yamaha adapter I couldn't get it to connect either. I wound up using my free visit from the geeks to get mine working. It works well now.

I'm sure that [it] will. I have an RX-A3010 and the YBA-11 works great and pairs within a couple of seconds. And the units' range is very good even all the upstairs in our home.

they don't connect without an adapter (referred to often as a 'pigtail' adapter cable. problem is, i don't know if your wifi access point/router has removable antenna/s. if it does, and if (usually) the connector is a mini SMA connector then you could use this: http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-ANT24PT-RP-SMA-Pigtail-Cable/dp/B003U6825G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374506928&sr=8-3&keywords=pigtail+connector or, if you have a connector on the access point called RP TNC then you'd use a connector cable like this: http://www.amazon.com/RP-TNC-Plug-N-Male-200-Assembly/dp/B002LYUYYK/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1374507103&sr=1-2&keywords=pigtail+connector+rp+tnc keep in mind, every time you use an adapter of some sort you lose 1db. every 30' of cheaper cable you use you're gonna lose at least 1/2db or more so use the thickest/highest-quality cable you can if you will be putting the antenna 30'+ away from the access point....ESPECIALLY if going 60' or more. Otherwise your antenna loses a lot of efficiency. Also, remember to elevate the antenna reasonably....more than 6' off the ground if only focused on a limited area (say, 1/4 acre), maybe 15' high if your tryiing to cover about 1 acre. a lot depends on what structures are on the property and what materials things are made of. be wary of metal clad buildings such as aluminum covered barns, chain link fences, etc. penetration in those cases is iffy at best. good luck!!

I just stumbled upon this post while searching unsuccessfully for just such an adapter. Can you possibly tell me where you were able to find this adapter online? THANK YOU!

I purchased the Wi-Fi network adapter...sorry to inform you, that it did not work for me.I called the seller of this product and the followed detail instructions given me...This Wi-Fi did not work for me. Perhaps you will have better luck than I...to me this purchase was a waste of money.
