The speaker should be able to connect to your wifi (from the Gateway 2701). You can not play to it from Pandora on your computer. The speaker itself can play Pandora. You have to control Pandora using either the remote control or your iPhone or Android phone.

I'm sorry. I've only ever used it for pc connectivity and really don't know. Wish I could be more help.

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

We have a wireless router for our laptops, but our desktop PCs are still wired into the router too ...in another room. So what do you suggest? I wonder if two routers in one home would work. Our Wii is in the room with the tv that we would like to install the player, so then we have to wonder about how this would effect it's wireless capabilities too.

Wendy-We have our AUdioengine hooked up to a TV wall mounted 13' above the enclosed stereo reciever cabinet. The main TV is 30' away on a 1/2 wall. Our living space is very open with 26' ceilings so sounds travel. The latency is extremely minimal, that we generally have both TV on at the same time. Unlike cable boxes hooked to each TV where the latency in sound is a killer. As far as being impacted by wireless equipment, we have 2 different routers, but no cell service . No interruptions. Nearest neighbor is 5 miles away so no history with city congestion. We love ours

I have a dual band router, and the speaker will only recognize the 2.4 Ghz band. But for streaming music the 2.4 Ghz band is more than adequate, so this hasn't been an issue for me.

I can't really speak to the range of the adapter, because my router isn't too far off. I'd say you could probably get a decent connection if there aren't too many walls (and no bathrooms) in between you and the router. I can't guarantee that, though, sorry &gt;.&lt;

I have AT&T; and after a complete runaround mine works FABULOUSLY. There are times I'm thrown off microcell but typically within 5 mins I can be reconnected. It has to be plugged into your router- I have a newer home and so mine is plugged in to my whole house control panel which is in a closet. After I installed it I was told it had to be next to a window to work- which is not the case mine works fine from a closet.

I would NOT buy this item. Yamaha support is horrible - I was on the phone for over 3 hours and different people told me different things. I bought a TP-LINK TL-WA801ND Wireless N300 Access Point, 2.4Ghz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, AP/Client/Bridge/Repeater, 2x 4dBi, Passive POE and am much happier! Take my advice - the YWA is JUNK!

I wanted to post this comment again (also posted under Joe C.'s comment) so that my comment would be visible and not somewhat hidden under Joe C.'s comment. We use AT&T U-Verse for our home internet connection. We use the Pantech UML290 through Verizon when we're traveling and I occasionally use it when doing work for my home based business (not the legal transcription work I reference below). We have never had any major problems with the Pantech UML290. We have used the Pantech UML290 from the top of a mountain (Lincoln National Forest/9,000 ft. elevation) in New Mexico and from a suburban area between Dallas and Fort Worth, TX. The only little "glitch" is that occasionally (not often) it takes several attempts to connect. We've NEVER had this device disconnect during a session and there are times I've had the device connected for up to 5 hours at a time. I do legal transcription work from home and, because of the nature of work I do, I must have a secure connection. The IT department for the company I do legal work for told me that I must use an aircard and not a mobile hotspot because the mobile hotspot is not as secure as an aircard.

These are good products however, a lot of the "range" id dependent upon the type equipment that you have i.e., language being utilized and whether its laptop and/or desktop. Especially important will be be type input Modem being utilized at your home for outward dissemination. It all adds into the equation. I have personally used these years ago for equipment in my home (large area home) and with a laptop at the end of the house; it worked satisfactorily. I would highly - very highly - recommend that you contact your local provider and inqjuire with them as to the range requirements for their channel input/output regarding the usage of the Netgear PL AV200. We were fortunate in that our Provider happens to be Bright House, one of the best in the industry if not the best - for full range of connection. Their input modem (located in our home) is the Ubee with wide-area coverage and no additional expander/boosters are necessary. Again, check with you local Provider and they should be able to provide you with the exact parameters you need to follow i.e., distance from their input modem, etc..... Sorry, but equipment these days is relevant to Provider-provided Modem equipment; thats the main goodie in it all........... Good luck...... Skip

Yes and No. For yes, Hold the reset button on the bottom of the speaker. It will now post out it's own wifi signal. The down side is that the Iphone now thinks it is on wifi and will not pull off pandora via the cell phone network.

No on both accounts. Straightforward stereo only. No wireless connection: If you want Pandora or other streaming you'll have to hook up a separate device via one of the existing audio connections.

My problem is I listen to pandora on my phone through the dbass speaker but speaker cuts out after about 10 minutes, I hear 3beeps and then speaker cuts out. I have 2 speakers and both do the same. As to your question I've tried that once but as to my previous problem it didn' work for me.

Over an ATT network I can hear clearly and be heard by the person on the other end. This may depend on the quality of connection I guess but I have not had any problems.

I like to listen to Pandora while dressing for work. The hope for these speakers was that I could easily use them but it was never the case. I sometimes connect my iPhone directly to the device but it takes too long to connect. It also takes long to connect wirelessly and it only one speaker at a time. The only time the sound is seamless is when connected directly. I am very disappointed in its "multi-room" function as well. I should have stuck with Bluetooth speakers which interacts better with my home network and I don't need to concern myself with network streaming or with ports. However it does operate wirelessly just not as well. I like to listen to Pandora while dressing for work. The hope for these speakers was that I could easily use them but it was never the case.
