Using an appropriate device (like an Android tablet) the speaker is easily connected to the network and the software on said computing device allows for turning the speaker on and off and for streaming music to it

Yamaha does say that the device is not intended for use as a surround-sound speaker (so I can't really knock it down for all of this), but that it *could* be used as such

Also, if your router does not have device QoS capability, time to upgrade

It showed right up on all my devices ready to go

If Yamaha fixes this issue, this device will be perfect
