Was able to successfully connect to my wireless network (which even had TKIP). I had to change the key to all lower case since the unit only allows lower case letters. Build quality cheap when you hold it but you wouldn't notice it from 10 feet away. Sound quality is fairly good. It's hooked up to a Denon receiver with 5.1 speakers. Can't complain, for $35 definitely worth the money. Instead of plugging in my laptop to the home theater this unit does the job. Just wish it had some facility to rate the songs played. Don't know how long it will last so keeping my fingers crossed.
