How it all works:
Like any computer-based network, the router acts as the hub for the entire network. The main reason why it is mandatory
that your router be wifi capable is for the tablet - Apple or Android to communicate and control the

. A tablet
cannot connect to a network any other way. However, if you wish (or if you have no choice) to maintain a wireless
connection between the computer or NAS and the router, this may have an effect in steady and proper signal
transmission of music files, depending on the distance between the router and the computer/NAS, physical obstructions
such as thick walls, and other factors. A wireless connection is especially likely to have an effect if listening to high-
resolution (24-bit) music, whereby dropouts may be noticed. It is therefore strongly recommended to have a wired
connection between the computer/NAS and your router.
