So the internet radio has arrived!

Depends on the internet radio. My tuner will accept cabled ethernet
or a wifi connection and either will be plenty fast enough for audio.

A portable radio tends to sit more happily on wifi. You should be
able to follow the simple setup instruction card that comes with it.

Yes. wifi instructions clear enough. Just out of the cardboard and
checking to see if anything else needed:-)
The manual gives set up instructions for UPnP and DLNA functions
which could easily be Greek to the uninformed!


DLNA means smart TVS should see it and stream what its playing

I get the impression that the radio is only a DLNA client not a server -
so while a smart TV may well be able to see the same server and content
as the radio, it will do this independently of the radio, and not be
able to stream content directly from the radio.


Yes, I suspect I got that wrong.

Rather nice thing to have.

Trouble is, most DLNA clients only play MP3 and Flac or wav is better
quality
