This is a combo wireless N router and a NAS (network attached storage) unit in one. You can share your music, video etc with any device on its local network using the included hard drive. File playback is only dependent on the software capabilities on your connected device. No worrying about flac vs. mp3 or aac etc. This functionality is a result of using a custom build of the OpenWRT firmware - see link -
The " heavy lifting" part of installing and testing the firmware/software has already been done for you saving time and aggravation. Additional functionality is available as well from the OpenWRT site and community if you are so inclined.
Comes with a 320 gb 2.5 inch SATA hard drive all ready installed-easily up-gradable if desired along with both WiFi and Ethernet built in. Setup is through a web based tool. Simply logon to the IP address and enter the supplied password-no different than any other router. Basic support available by email or VOIP e.g. Skype, Viber. This is a stable Linux device which has the core functionality of many more expensive units with fancier cases etc. It is an inexpensive way to explore music streaming without committing major resources. Payment by PayPal no surcharge. Flat rate shipping of $15 anywhere in N America -with tracking from Victoria BC Canada - Please see my feedback and buy with confidence.
