When will the firmware update that allows renaming of multiple units be available? Will you be able to send to multiple units at once via airplay?

You already can send to multiple units via Airplay. Only the manufacturer knows when or if the capability to rename units will be done.

You can now go to sabrent.com to Download new Firmware Update / V. 204 , it will allow to rename the device. Remember to reset the WiFi Audio receiver after firmware update

Hi Justin: Sabrent just released a new firmware - version 2.0.4 - that allows you to rename the devices. Follow the directions on how to download and use the file here: http://www.sabrent.com/category/audio/WF-RADU/ When you are done updating the firmware, put a paperclip in the little hole next to the USB port and hold it for :30 sec. The button is actually slightly below the hole. After you update the firmware and reboot it (Paperclip), you can rename the unit. Just remember to hit apply. Also, if all the buttons don't come up the first time, hit reload on your browser. As for playing the same music to all speakers, the only way I have found to do that is through a piece of software called Airfoil. It runs on your Mac and iPhone and allows you to select multiple Sabrents. Hope this helps! Harlan

There's no information from Sabrent that identifies anything about a firmware update or an answer to your second question. I will get in touch with a Sabrent PR Representative to seek information.

No. Adding AirPlay is actually expensive ($20-30 per unit is the reported cost, mostly due to license fees for it) and it isn't as widely compatible as Bluetooth. You could add AirPlay with an AppleTV, but then it won't trigger the unit on automatically when used.

I believe this is a feature of Airplay that you would be able to do as long as all of the units are connected to the same wireless network as the source device. You could also get an aux splitter to go to multiple units from one device if you are using corded but that seems like a real hassle and eyesore. You may be able to find more cost effective solutions like a multiple-room wireless receiver

You are supposed to be able to add multiple devices. I only have a single device, but the IOS software allows for multiple.

CarPlay is not out yet, still waiting for the firmware upgrade. Maybe they were waiting for the new iPhones to come out. The 8000nex is a sweet unit, I love it!!!!

Updates are not available for the Pioneer AVIC-X920BT yet. I was actually wondering when they might become available for that unit.

I was also considering using this as an access point for Airplay. Did you try it and did it work? Thanks

You can add as many as you like (I have 3) and they each show up on both my iPod and iPhone. Just buy the cheapest one you can find and then it will upgrade to the new firmware when you set it up. Much cheaper than the V.2 cam, which is the same cam with new firmware!

Sorry,I'm not good at English but I'll try my best to answer your questions.Please explain what "Are they sorted"means to me.There were not any problems with AirPlay when I used it but you should upgrad the software.

.I think this device will ease using airplay network capabilities.Personally,I did not buy it,as I had a wifi extender (netgear,40 dlls.) that I connected to my yamaha 573 and configured to my wifi network.So then,when I am going to play my music from my iphone or ipad,I connect these devices in the same network name.

I don't think your second question was answered. You obviously are asking about streaming to multiple Airplay devices from MacOS, not from iOS, since iOS doesn't support streaming to more than one Airplay device at a time, and Airfoil is a MacOS app. The answer is "Yes", this Sabrent device can be just like all your other Airplay devices and these will show up in the list of "External Speakers" in iTunes, allowing you to stream to any or all of the ones in the list, including the Sabrent unit. With firmware 2.0.4, you can also change the SSID of the Sabrent device and this name will appear in your list of devices to output to in iTunes or Airfoil. I only have one Sabrent, but I have multiple other Airplay devices and it plays nicely with them. As far as I can tell, the only way I've found to output to multiple devices is through iTunes without installing a third-party product like Airfoil. I use Airfoil for streaming Pandora or Beats Music (or any web site) to 4 different devices. Otherwise I use iTunes. Airfoil is a fine program, with no quirks or issues I've seen. It just works for me.

It is not airplay compatible. It uses proprietary software to communicate via wifi.

It should have no issue, when I loaded mine it told me I could link up to devices. Just be sure to set up your activities correctly. If you want to add another few devices, I would suggest bumping up to the Harmony 650, it can link up to 8 devices.

It is a bit quirky on the setup for AirPlay. But once it gets set up it is very dependable. Overall, a really nice unit.

Thanks for reply...So, that is in fact what I am trying to determine in these threads. If I have the USB wi-fi plug, then I should be able to use any computer (or wi-fi capable device) as my music 'server' - correct...?There should be no need to buy another router (Apple TV or Apple Airplay)...Getting very close to pulling trigger on this purchase so thanks for thots if you know.
