WiFi Flow Chart

WiFi refers to wireless radio communication between computers and related devices. WiFi Internet radio uses this technology and allows you to listen to over 18,000 stations in your living room, bedroom, kitchen or anywhere within range of the signal from a wireless router. To do this, you need a wireless router (in some cases an internet service provider will supply a wireless router/modem combination when you subscribe to their services). The router directs information from the internet to one or more devices such as computers, mobile phones or WiFi internet radios. Using a WiFi Internet Radio requires two things: a WiFi router (or a direct Ethernet cable connection, if available) and broadband internet access. An electronic device cannot communicate with a WiFi router unless it has a WiFi receiver/transmitter (otherwise called a WiFi card or module) built-in. Many electronic devices, such as our WiFi internet radios, have these built-in WiFi modules and can access the internet anywhere within range of your wireless router.

Broadband is a high speed internet connection that is usually sent over your phone line, through your cable TV system or by satellite. Streaming audio and video are much better over a broadband connection, since the faster speed allows for higher quality streams. With internet at these speeds, a vast wealth of information is available to you. Whether your preference is music, news, education or other forms of entertainment, broadband delivers it quickly.

WiFi Internet Radios provide crystal clear audio without crackles or pops no matter how far away the program originates. Our WiFi Internet Radios make it easy to find what you want to hear by organizing content according to location, music style, talk, news and more. The content lists are maintained and provided by aggregators like Reciva, Vtuner and others. C. Crane has no control over content or providers for internet radios. There are now 18,000+ radio stations to choose from through your WiFi Internet Radio with no subscription fees or contracts. WiFi Internet Radios work without a computer and can be set up in just a few minutes. To see if your favorite AM/FM or internet-only station is streaming, go to: http://woodenradio.com/FindStation.
