The "internet radio" almost certainly needs wifi

The USB is probably for playing sound files from a memory stick.

The radio probably doesn't have firmware/drivers to use a USB-ethernet adapter.

If you don't have wifi you'll need to set up an access point wired to your router.

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.

Devices should spot DLNA servers on the network and offer to use them.
My music player can see my home server or any of the PCs that have the

I just had a quick look through the manual...

So it seems you have power in, plus line level audio in (for feeding in
an external analogue signal for playback using the internal amp and
speakers), line out for feeding the output to an external amp etc. The
USB seems to be for reading a mass storage device containing music files
for playback.

There is no direct wired ethernet capability.

The UPNP facility appears to make the device look like a device which
can be streamed to by computers on the network. The DLNA facility allows
the "radio" to reach out and access things being shared on a network by
a DLNA server should you have one running. While both are nice to have,
you can ignore them if all you want to do is have the radio play
internet radio.

Going by comments on various discussion groups, most (if not all) internet
radios seem to run a skinny version of Linux. You could try plugging on of
the USB / LAN adaptors which claims to be Linux compatible into the USB
socket and do a reset. Why a reset? I suspect they do minimal HW scanning
at power up to save time and it may not be detected otherwise.

Having said that, if you have decent Wi-fi coverage in your house etc, the
bandwidth isnt high. I run a mixed wired / Wi-fi network and try to put as
many things on wired connections as possible but I still dont use the
(provided) network connectors on our iStream 94s.

OK John. That confirms what has been suggested. My missreading the

Not the simplest device to set up and I have only bothered with UK

facility is there.

For such a small, unit the sound output is fine to my aged ears:-)

You might find you can get the DLNA server to transcode in real time, so
for example allowing FLAC files to be delivered in high bit rate MP3 for
that particular client. While not perfect, MP3 at = 320Kbps is "ok".

Or NAS.
