Works for some but, not for me:
Maybe this Aluratek WiFi radio happens to be compatible with your wireless router. Maybe you're only interested in specific stations and, maybe this radio happens to receive those stations. If all three are true in your case, this may be the perfect WiFi radio for your needs. Given the favorable reviews and enjoying the prospect of spending $130 instead of $260, I ordered this unit with great expectations. After living with it for one week, it's clear many of the negative reviews had some valid points... more info

Working better than the Sangean Wifi Radio:
After purchasing a Sangean WFR-1 radio for a friend of mine, I can definitely say that this little wonder has provided excellent audio quality and interaction when connecting to my Wifi router was quicker than the one for the Sangean; sound quality is perhaps a bit better since the Aluratek sound is a bit crispier. Price also is great. I read some reviews complaining about the light being too bright. The model I have here has an option that shuts the light off while the system is still working.
