Good Quality Radio October 11, 2008

This radio offers you very good sound quality, excellent finish, and an easy access to loads of pre-set radio stations with the ability to save up to 250 favourite stations.
Out of the box set-up is straight forward once you manage to navigate through the alphabet to enter your wireless network WPA access key using the volume knob.
The radio has up to 8-sec buffer capacity which meant an almost uninterrupted listening experience for the majority of the stations.
I gave this radio only 3 stars because of the following:
1. The inability to integrate with Reciva Radio restricts you from using the extended search and management of your own station list over the web;
2. Adding a new station is not an easy task which requires manual entry of the station url using the volume knob; and
3. Inability to access PC Media files.
Overall a very good radio that would probably benefit from a firmware upgrade to include additional features.
 Didn't work out of the box September 4, 2008

I have a Verizon Actiontec wireless router for my high speed network that works for all of my laptops, printer, etc. This radio COULD NOT connect wirelessly. I contacted the manufacturer to attempt to rectify the problem, and they were no help whatsoever. Borderline rude as a matter of fact. I did hardwire it and it worked, but I found the station availability to be extremely lacking without Reciva access. And I've read that adding stations is "quite the chore" on this set.
The good news is I was able to return it (out the shipping cost, however)
and I received full credit.
Look elsewhere, IMO...
 Highly recommend April 21, 2008

Very stylish, and user friendly. Excellent idea, enormous number of stations to choose from. However it has a useless remote control, with a range of only 6cm.
Overall an excellent product.

I bought both the ASUS Air Internet Radio and the Tangent Quattro Internet Radio - both are well built and have good sound quality with the Tangent being a little better. Adding stations on the ASUS is possible with a most unhandy method of entering the streaming URL one character at a time from a scrolling list of numbers, letters and characters. An external USB keyboard would have been a great addition!!! The Tangent station list is better and with an email to the Receiva site they can add additional stations to the list. The ASUS has both WIFI and wired Ethernet, while the Tangent is WIFI only. WEP/WPA security can be used on both radios and it is entered on both via the above tedious scrolling list. The ASUS has a remote control making this task just a bit easier. I did find that some stations are resorting to having their own players (like KFI in Los Angeles) and do not make their streaming URL's available - probably so they can add visual advertising! In any case the ASUS is a fine product, but it is difficult to add stations that are not on their list.
