Aluratek AIRMM01 Internet Radio Alarm Clock with built-in WiFi (Black)

I love being able to tune in and listen to music or other entertainment from all of the different countries. It's does not do very well with FM stations in that after some period of time, it stops playing the FM station. It is slow to respond to the remote. It wasn't that difficult to setup and would be much easier if it had an interface to allow me to use my laptop to configure it. The price wasn't bad and all in all a pretty good radio.

I normally don't leave reviews for products but i found this product to be so good I had to leave 5 stars for it. What I like about it - its internet radio feature. Setting up wireless with my wireless router was a snap - simply enter SSID and WEP key and you are good to go. The internet radio saerch feature is truly simple - a child could navigate it. Navigation by country is superb. Once a good radio channel is found simply mark it as a favorite. The best part is that it is all free - no need for monthly fees. Other great pluses - you can catch FM radio over the air, there is a ethernet port if you have no wireless. The wireless reception is good, my router is at the other end of the house. All in all a wonderful product. I am buying one more for my father.

Reading about this radio brought excitement, but problems were experienced. Simple wireless intructions would not connect this radio to my router signal, although it seemed to initially recognize my router. Several trys at entering my password and resetting were attempted without positive result. The radio would "lock-up". Web site information was not helpful. The radio appeared to be defective and I regretfully returned it and was leery of trying another one. I then purchased a different brand and it set up easily and is working perfectly. By the way, the Aluratek is the first product that I have ever had to return to Amazon, and I would like to compliment Amazon on their excellent service and the efficient handling of my return.

I bought the radio when the local Air America station went off the air and I wanted to be able to get it from another streaming source. I got the radio set up without much trouble - if your wireless router is password protected you do need to know the password. Once set Radio is easy to use and has good sound for a small radio.

A little hard to get used to the controls and screens but once learned, it is easy to program. Had no trouble getting on the wifi once I found the wifi code. That could be a problem if you didn't save it. Great receiver for "news hounds."
