AVR4310CI wifi? Can this receiver do wi-fi streaming? I didn't see it above, but I thought I'd ask to be sure.

The older 4808/4809cl had wifi built-in and I think they saw several issues integrating wi-fi that they chose to drop that in favor of wired ethernet. Wired ethernet works great, by the way. You just need a bridging router that will work well; one such router: D-Link DAP1522 Xtreme 4-Port GigaBit Selectable Dual Band Draft 802.11n N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access PointIt is also good to have a single wireless bridge router near the TV so you can connect TV, networked blu-ray players, networked receivers and game boxes to this single router using wires.

Unfortunately, we have a wireless router in the basement.. thus the house is essentially wireless. What would you recommend in that case?

No. It has an ethernet connection but no built-in wifi which is rather surprising. You will need an external ethernet to wifi adapter/router. Also, while it has a USB port it does not support a USB wifi adaptor.

hey all saw your post about the Denon AVR4310CI and thought I would let you all know electronics expo has a very good deal on this receiver. They are selling it for an unbelievable $1263.50 using coupon code WS901X8108. Check it out!

Another alternative is: NETGEAR Home Theater Internet Connection Kit (Black)I did try the wireless client and a bridge combo (ASUS & D-Link), but using 4 separate Home Theater equipments (Denon AVR43010CI receiver, Oppo BDP83 Blu-ray player, Panasonic V-10 TV, and DishNetwork HD-DVR) connected to this combo was getting me inconsistent performance.Using the above has worked out fabulously. Read the reviews for it.

I've got a Denon AVR-1613 Integrated Network AV Receiver and love it. Damn thing's smarter than I am and it took several calls to both Denon and the dealer before I got it all set up. Partly my fault cause I didn't have all HDMI equipment at first so some manual settings were required. If you have all HDMI, the thing sets itself up beautifully. Don't remember exactly what I paid for it (at ABT Electronics) but they had it on sale ($400-$500 range). Love the speakers too, good luck.

I agree with the previous post. The Broadcaster will pick-up wifi or Ethernet just fine. I've actually tested my iPhone as a hotspot and it worked. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. I forgot to mention that I'm trying to stream HD mpg files that I'm getting off my Tivo HD. Not sure about their bit-rate but I guess it is high enough. That is the question: What router+adapter allows HD streaming, at least 1080i?As far as I understand it now, old G technology will not fit, we need N-wireless and not 2.4 GHz but 5 GHz etc.

Horribly, because it doesn't seem to stay on the network very well. I've had two now, the first sent back to ASUS because it wouldn't work, the second is now still not really working. The few times I did try to stream audio, it worked, somewhat but would stop playing at random. (or are you not asking how well, but 'what technique do you use?') To make it work, you use apple airplay as I recall, I didn't try it with a PC though. It just shows up on airplay if the settings are right in the web setup UI.

Wifi is built in though the apps run very slow. I don't use that feature, I use my own external streaming devices.

Thanks for the answer in regard to the number of speakers. My blu-ray has Wi-Fi and that's why I asked about disabling Wi-Fi in the receiver. Thanks again.

No, none at all. Occasionally I drop wifi stream but I think its my router doing that. What input are you using? HDMI ? I'm thinking it could be the cable. It is worth spending some $ for a good one.

NO the unit does not stream wirelessly, and so it is a misnomer to say it has airplay. You have to have a wired internet cable connected to your network in order to be able to stream music. A regretful purchase. I tried to hook up an older airport, but the version of airport I had did not support having it function as a bridge with ethernet cable to the Harmon Kardon, so I had to go through the hassle of installing an ethernet cable.

You can stream from your iphone or ipad to the unit by plugging directly into it. You will not be able to do it wirelessly.

The receiver has only a wired Ethernet port, but there are two ways to not have to run an Ethernet cable all the way to the router. You can easily buy a cheap wifi bridge that would plug into the Ethernet port and provide an antenna to connect to your wireless network with no drivers needed (Many cheap/used wifi routers can also be put into bridge mode to serve the same purpose). I am using powerline networking to carry the network from the router into the nearest power outlet, and then out of the power outlet by the home entertainment cabinet to a switch that serves all components that need Internet.

This receiver does WAY more than I'll ever use. I got it because it has 2 HDMI outs for 2 monitors. Great price for a receiver with that option. Judging from the other answer I would look in to the DENON AVR4000 or Higher for your needs or better yet, a Marantz Slimline. The upper end models look to have everything in a very small package.

There is only an Ethernet connection. Pioneer sells a WiFi adapter for the unit. I prefer the reliability of Ethernet, so the WiFi was not an issue with my purchase

Currently (May 2014) the Onkyos don't do Airplay natively in the receiver. Maybe it will be fixed with a firmware update? This is a bizarre "un-feature", since just about every other AV 2013/2014 receiver in the market at these prices does have AirPlay. After some googling... There is an accessory called the Onkyo DS-A5, that will "add" AirPlay to this receiver, but it is an absolutely pointless device, and is now no longer sold. It is a RRP $199 unit that has Ethernet and WiFi (for AirPlay) and an old iPod port (not Lightning). Output is via digital Toslink and analogue - no special dock to the receiver. If you want AirPlay and want an Onkyo, get the AppleTV. It's under $100 and does video as well as audio. And Netflix and lots of other things besides.

I would suggest a similar setup like the one I have.It's doing what you want.There is an option for the repeater to either use the incoming signal for WiFi or Ethernet.In my situation I went with Ethernet but you can set WiFi.See my review. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZH7JFVDQHJWU/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00HQ883QW

I didn't know there was a difference until I received this request. I hear it's mostly concerning "dual band" capabilities. Just another receiver for a different room so far.

Thanks for reply...So, that is in fact what I am trying to determine in these threads. If I have the USB wi-fi plug, then I should be able to use any computer (or wi-fi capable device) as my music 'server' - correct...?There should be no need to buy another router (Apple TV or Apple Airplay)...Getting very close to pulling trigger on this purchase so thanks for thots if you know.
