'The W3 consists of 2 parts, the "Sender" and "Receiver".' does this mean that i will be unable to connect to this directly from my phone or tablet?

the question is a bit vague. i'm guessing you're looking for an AirPlay alternative. this device would not fall into that category. it's designed to convert an analog source (such as a regular analog stereo system playing audio through a headphone jack) to a wifi signal and send it wirelessly to the receiver, which in turn outputs the received audio through another headphone jack. this allows you to have multiple sets of speakers connected to multiple receivers in different rooms in your house playing synchronous music from one source. you can't connect to these things wirelessly. the only wireless connection is between the W3 sender and the W3 receiver.

Greetings Zee, I shall not want to mislead you upon your quest for the correct info regarding the W3. These items may come across as a bit complex unless you know exactly what you are doing with them. Please allow me to suggest that you contact the Audioengine Cust SVC Team as per assistance. This is the route that I chose upon whenever I had queries beforehand. However, I shall say this... once you get everything together, you shall be one HAPPY customer. Trust me on this. Good Luck. WM

First you'll need the kit http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BBAXVJK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1394215097&sr;=8-5π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I connect the sender to my laptop or, when having a party, to any of my friends's cellphones. I connect it to an electrical outlet using a USB cord and that's it, my music is transmitted wirelessly to the receiver, connected to my active speakers.

Yes, you need a telephone line connected on the receiver (your image shows the transmitter). The wireless part refers to the communication among transmitter-receiver, nothing to do with the phone or with WiFi. It works great, I definitley recommend it.

It's supposed to link up to the website which no longer exists or has moved. It's supposed to be plug and play. The company has no contact number and Amazon won't protect customers on this because it's a "Manufacturer issue". Me? I have 10 of these things laying around and we spent about $1000. No recourse what so ever. You are buying a paper-weight! If you by some miracle get yours to work, please email me.

You have to make sure both are on the same wifi network. My app found the receiver automatically once I had them both connected.

After much trial and error - specifically moving the transmitter away from the PC - I had it working for a while under W8. Now it has stopped working; I cannot get the transmitter and receiver to 'pair'. Not sure of the cause but whatever, it's now useless to me. To answer your question specifically, there is no reason so far as I'm aware that it should not work with Windows 7 or 8.

I could be wrong, but I don't see any such capability on the menus. It apparently does not have any built-in device communication capabilities in any of the menu trees,

No, connecting this device to Tx, Rx and GND is how I've done it on several devices now without a 3.3 reference. :) Use this device with confidence without using the red wire...

As mentioned you should be able to. Easiest well to tell is by pressing connect on the receiver, than connect on the mouse. If it starts working, than there you go.

Several problems here - the Airlink Mini-USB Wireless Adapter you are posting this under is not 3G, it's a wireless LAN adapter, as in 802.11b/g/n. Also the Mini refers to the relative size of the adapter, not to the USB form factor - it's actually a full size USB, as in made for PCs. Lastly, it is highly unlikely to impossible to (successfully) attach USB devices of any kind to (unrooted) tablets / phones because they simply lack the drivers to recognize the hardware.

I've had trouble with the internet connecitivity on this receiver, and I think it's related to the YWA-10 adapter. Internet radio, air play and remote control with my iPhone are all intermittant. I wish I could try a direct connection to the wired network but I don't have a cable that's long enough (this will be my next step). Yamaha tech support offered little help.

You should be able to use it in W8.1. You may have to use it in compatability mode, nut I don't think so.

i presume so as it is simply a reader. more important from my perspective is if the program it reads into works with W8 (mine does not).

can not, only directly connectingThe bluetooh connection is only for mobile devices

There is a connection to link to a PC. I have an iPhone and I use it with my Looxcie

Yes, but it is possibly a broken implementation. I bought two EGQ307s, which Wal Mart is selling right now for approximately $50 apiece. Neither one can connect to the secure WiFi network I use for provisioning all of the other low-cost Android tablets I buy. Others' experiences clearly show it works in other cases, but the same connection failures in two, fresh-out-of-the-box units shows this isn't a one-off kind of problem. As of this writing, Ematic doesn't even list this model on its support request web page, and needless to say: after over a week, I have received no response to a request submitted there. So if WiFi is essential to you, proceed with caution. Yes, but it is possibly a broken implementation. I bought two EGQ307s, which Wal Mart is selling right now for approximately $50 apiece.

I just plugged the receiver in and it worked (after batteries and turning on). By default the device is paired to the usb wireless thing it comes with and won't work with another. You can pair multiple devices to one receiver but you'll need to download the software. Oddly I had trouble finding the software online (the device doesn't come with a cd). there is a logitec page for it, but no software there.... I got the software on macupdate com (which might not help for pcs...) . Once I got the software it walked me through pairing both devices to the same receiver. It was frustrating, but its working great now.

It is a bluetooth connection. As long as you have a Bluetooth communication app on the Windows tablet (I believe it does), you should be able to use it. The operating system is not the issue, just how it communicates. Here is a link that discusses how to link a Bluetooth device to a Windows tablet: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-connect-bluetooth-accessories-to-your-windo.htmlI do NOT know if it is the correct size for the tablet, however. You will have to check that out.
