Use of enc wifi (wpa2 forced) causing streaming drop outs?

All of your answers can be found by reading the N800 manual, which is located on the N800. In short: a) yes, there is a real FM tuner. You need to have earphones plugged in to receive a signal. You can choose to use the speakers to listen to it, but you still need them plugged in. b) it's under

Peter, the N800 uses the headphone wires as an antenna. If you plug in your headphones and you are in the vicinity of an FM broadcast station you will be able to listen. You can still listen through the speakers on the N800 by selecting the appropriate output with the FM radio app. Best Rega
