Is it in Stereo? |
Yes - all WiFi is
in stereo |
Do I need a computer? |
No - A WiFi radio easily decodes
the audio signal you seek and translates it into
clear noiseless listening. |
Where does a WiFi Signal
come from? |
WiFi signals are created when
someone connects a wireless modem or router to
their internet connection. Modems and routers are
necessary to connect a computer to the internet. |
How do I Hook
it Up? |
There is a simple four step process.
- Plug it in.
- Turn it on.
- Seek a WiFi Signal
- Listen and enjoy.

Is it stealing
to use someone elses WiFi signal? |
If you have permission - it is
not stealing. You have implied permission when
visiting a business that provides free WiFi. While
WiFi signals are in the air - they are not considered
public domain in most areas. We recommend
that you ask a neighbor's or business's permission
before using their signal. Most states have developed
laws to prevent malicious attempts to use WiFi
signals. These laws are molded towards criminals,
but may affect your use of a signal too. You can
check your state's laws at the National
Conference of State Legislatures web site. |
How far does
a signal go? |
Signal distance
is changing. While the basic system will transmit
200-feet, most of the new systems transmit 5-times that distance. Also,
be aware that since the CC WiFi radio is a digital device, it may
cause some interference to AM broadcasts on standard radios that
are in close proximity.

Can I get WiFi
radio without a WiFi signal? |
No - there must be a WiFi signal
in your vicinity for a WiFi radio to work. |
How does a little
radio decode internet radio? |
When anyone puts his show out
on the internet, their signal carries within it
the information that's required to decode it. It
is easy for a WiFi radio to identify these signals,
gleen them out, and decode the radio program into
a clear digital signal. |
Why do I recommend
C.Crane WiFi radios? |
I recommend the
C Crane WiFi radio because it's inexpensive, easy-to-use,
and it allows listeners to hear the program
anywhere in the world. So now, you'll now
have two options. You can listen to the broadcast
on your AM radio, as you have done in the past,
OR, you can listen on the internet, even
if you don't have a computer. Even if
you are within WNJC's and WFYL's broadcast range,
you may still want to listen via the internet to
enjoy the music in crystal-clear stereo. |
