In the set up menu you must choose either wireless or ethernet. Hope this helps as I really enjoy this radio.

I assume that you don't have Wi-Fi and have you tried to find an adapter at RadioShack Also if you buy an inexpensive route you can use that with extra ports on the back to use both your computer and the Ttr1

It requires a special dongle (Acer Converter) to get ethernet...I'm not sure about the speed. The keyboard is backlit.

I'm not sure? I have a cheap Belkin Wireless N with 4 ethernet ports, it worked plugged into the ethernet port for me.

I have exactly the same problem with my radio, which basically renders it USELESS in my area. They should warn customers before hand that this is the situation. Send it back for a refund if you can.

The output is VAC. Your radio is probably DC. Not sure that's going to work.

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.

You can plug only 1 computer at the time ... The channel's in simple words are the amout of songs that you can mix at the time..

Yes it does. There is an access cover that surrounds the power cord at ther rear of the radio that is removable. The ethernet port is behind this access cover. The radio has gotten better since I wrote the review. I am wireless and Sirrus tech support advised that after use the cache becomes loaded and you have to unplug both the wifi router and the radio to clear the cache. I unplug the radio and plug it back in after about 5 minutes. The radio then connects to programing. You possibly may not have this problem with an ethernet connection.

Good evening, first turn on device, insert in (ant) the jack cable it works like antena, press mode until you hear radio, press button right side to "repeat" it scan the station, if you want to select the station press again.

You probably do not have a router if it only has one port, you may be talking about the modem. you should invest in a router which will add more ports to your modem first. this product does not add additional ports, it simply connects to 1 existing port. once it is connected and plugged into a power outlet, it converts it to a signal that will run through your home's power lines. this is where the second unit comes into play. when you plug in the second unit it will grab the signal and convert it again so that it will be usable with your Ethernet enabled device.

At least in my experience, no. Both are networks, so enabling one disables the other. It appears that, like a radio, you can only receive one channel at a time. I've checked this with IT people, and it looks like it is only one system at a time.

You need to connwct the br direcyly to the wireless roter using an ethernet cable

Did you program the radio yet? I just two of these and the same thing happened to but until I uploaded new frequencies following the instructions at http://www.miklor.com/BF888/

You only can use one port at a time and do one thing at a time. Mine won't work at all but it wasn't designed to multi task.

I would go to Radio Shack and ask how could connect. I don't have this problem.

Yes for sure. If your desktop is not wireless Davy you can always use an Ethernet cable

Your radio needs to be tuned to a station that carries the imbedded data. I lost power one time and the radio lost time and date. The radio updated over night. Provided you are tuned to the correct station it should return.
