Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a broadband internet connection?

Yes, you do. The AE Wi-Fi radio accesses internet radio stations through a wireless link (802.11b or 802.11g) to your existing Wi-Fi enabled broadband connection.

Does my PC have to be switched on?

Not necessarily. If you have a broadband router with built-in Wi-Fi, you do not need to turn your PC on to receive internet radio on the AE Wi-Fi radio. The AE Wi-Fi radio connects directly to the internet without the use of a browser.

Are there any subscription costs?

No. Any content from any radio station that is free on the internet is free to access on your AE Wi-Fi radio. Future 'subscription-based' internet radio services will be available on a pre-pay or pay-per- access basis as they come on-line.

What about interactive services?

The AE Wi-Fi radio is fully equipped with a 'Reply' key to respond to internet radio station competitions, adverts or opinion polls - as and when they become available.

Will it work with my Apple Mac computer?

Yes. The AE Wi-Fi radio also works with Apple's Airport Wi-Fi connection to seamlessly link to the internet. The AE Wi-Fi radio will also stream and play music stored as mp3 files on your Mac.

What if the Wi-Fi network in encrypted for security?

If the AE Wi-Fi Radio detects an encrypted Wi-Fi network it simply asks you to enter the WEP key on the keypad before it accesses the internet. It will not connect to an encrypted network without the key.

Can I access music stored on my PC as well?

Yes. The AE Wi-Fi radio also acts as a media adapter allowing you to sort, access and play audio content stored on your PC in MP3, WMA or Real Audio media files.

Can I use headphones or connect it to my hi-fi system?

Yes on both counts. The AE Wi-Fi radio has a 3.5mm stereo jack for headphones or connection to an AEGO M system with a standard 3.5mm jack-to-RCA audio cable.
