Good sound quality, but wireless reception deficient

VR-Radio Internet Radio Tuner IRS 820.HiFi with Digital Radio DAB + & FM (Electronics)

Customer Review

In principle okay, apart perhaps from the plastic bezel that looks a bit cheap. The radio reception (FM and DAB) worked perfectly for me, the sound (via RCA to my old Grundig receiver) is good.

But the thick and crucial drawback: The Wi-Fi:
- Reception there was only when the tuner was a few meters away from the wireless router, in about 10 meters away, the network was no longer found
- Establish the connection takes a long time
- Connection must be re-activated in each case after switching

Since I wanted to mainly use the device to stream music from the Media Player, the lack of Wi-Fi was an exclusion criterion, ie: equipment declined. Whether technical defect or general design flaw was not clarified, since the Pearl-support has not responded.
