One thing I do not understand about the design of the wiim amps is why they are not fully functional when not connected to wifi. Audio will still play from the wired input, however you cannot access the full settings and the power light will continue blinking non-stop. This is a design flaw in my opinion. One does not even have the option to use bluetooth to control the settings. Kind of ridiculous. I don't use it much for streaming and would prefer the option to turn off wifi altogether and still use it normally. No point broadcasting a wifi signal constantly if it's not being used for anything. Ideally I would like to control the settings from my pc without having to go fool around with my cell phone.
